There are 8 State Boards under the aegis of my Department. These are the Central Bank Commission, the Credit Union Restructuring Board, the Financial Services and Pension Ombudsman, Home Building Finance Ireland, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, the National Asset Management Agency, the National Treasury Management Agency and the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland.

In addition, there are 9 bodies also under the aegis of my Department that are not classified as State Boards. These are the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Credit Review Office, the Credit Union Advisory Committee, the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, the Investor Compensation Company DAC, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal, the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and the Tax Appeals Commission.

Appointments to State Boards are made in accordance with the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in 2014. The Public Appointments Service provides a process to identify top quality people for consideration by Ministers for appointment to State Boards. In this regard, I would refer the Deputy to the website www.stateboards.ie.

Details of appointments to the State Boards under the aegis of my Department are in the table below.
