The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal. The 2016 Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies states that 'State bodies are required to publish in theirannual report details of non-salary-related fees paid in respect of the Board, analysed by category, and the salary of the CEO.'

The fees and expenses paid to members of the Citizens Information Board are reported in its Annual Financial Statement, the most recent audited version of which is 2019. The salary of the CEO is published in that document:

Similarly the fees to the Chairperson of the Pensions Authority and the salary of the Pensions Regulator (equivalent to CEO) are published in its Annual Report:

The board members of the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal do not receive fees for performance of their functions.
