The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council, the Pensions Ombudsman (which does not have a Board) and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

There are no vacancies on the boards of the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council or the Social Welfare Tribunal. There is currently one vacancy on the board of the Citizens Information Board which will be filled in accordance with the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards, published in November 2014.
