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.

Three (3) retired civil servants have served on the Board of the Citizens Information Board during the period in question following a competitive process run by the Public Appointments Service (PAS).All of these were ordinary board members.

No retired civil or public servants were appointed to the Boards of either the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council or the Social Welfare Tribunal during this period, as a result of being recommended on draft lists submitted by the PAS.
