The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Low Pay Commission, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

Appointments to the Boards of these bodies are made in accordance with the requirements of the governing legislation and the Government Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards. The statutory bodies in question do not hold records of whether Board members are either currently serving, or have previously served, on other State boards. The specific information sought by the Deputy is not, therefore, available.

Details of the current membership of all applicable State boards are published on the website.
