Since I took office in March 2011, two agencies under the aegis of my Department have ceased to exist – the Civil Defence Board and Coiste an Asgard. The only body remaining under the aegis of my Department is the Army Pensions Board, which is an independent statutory body established under the Army Pensions Act, 1927.

The only body under the aegis of my Department is the Army Pensions Board, which is an independent statutory body established under the Army Pensions Act, 1927. The current chairperson of the Army Pensions Board was appointed to the position in 2001. The Board consists of a chairperson and two ordinary members. There is no fixed term of office for appointments to the Army Pensions Board.
