My Department is responsible for the legislation underpinning the social welfare code and for a number of other areas of legislation. These are occupational and private pensions, civil registration and gender recognition, redundancy and employer’s insolvency, employment rightsand Citizens Information Board/Comhairle legislation.

A number of provisions of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005, as amended, have still to be commenced. In addition, some provisions of the Citizens Information Act 2007, as amended, the Civil Registration Act 2004, as amended, and the Pensions Act 1990, as amended, have still to be commenced.

Details of these provisions have been sent to the Deputy and can be found at the following link: http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/webattachments.nsf/0/75942968CD746A60802581F70038258B/$File/%28Question%20694%29%20Social%20Welfare%20Consolidation%20Act%202005%20and%20other%20Social%20Welfare%20Acts.docx?openelement
