I propose to take Questions Nos. 1148 to 1150, inclusive, together.

The only body under the aegis of my Department is the Army Pensions Board.

The Army Pensions Board is an independent statutory body established under the Army Pensions Act, 1927. The Act specifies that the Board shall consist of a chairman and two ordinary members. The two ordinary members must be qualified medical practitioners of whom one must be an officer of the Army Medical Corps. The chairman and the non-military ordinary member are appointed by the Minister for Defence with the concurrence of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The Army Medical Corps ordinary member is appointed by the Minister for Defence on the recommendation of the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces. The chairperson and the civilian doctor are entitled to annual fees of €7,618 and €5,079 respectively.

The annual savings to the Exchequer if the annual fees paid to members of the Army Pensions Board were cut by 25% would be €3,174.25.

The Army Pensions Board does not have a CEO.
