The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Ombudsman (which does not have a Board) and the Social Welfare Tribunal.
Details of appointments to the Boards since March 2011 are set out in the table below:
Agency/Board | Number of Appointments to State Boards | Number of Vacancies | Number of vacancies Publically Advertised | Number of appointments made from the Public Advertisement Process |
---|---|---|---|---|
Citizens Information Board (CIB) | 4* | 6** | 3 | 1 |
PensionsBoard | Nil | 2 | Nil | Nil |
Pensions Authority | 3 | 3 | Nil | Nil |
Social Welfare Tribunal | 6 | 6 | Nil | Nil |
The Pensions Boardwas renamed the Pensions Authority on 7 March 2014.
* Three of the 4 appointments did not require public advertisement as they are CIB and Minister’s representatives.
**There are currently two vacancies on the Citizens Information Board.
