There is only one tribunal under the aegis of my Department

The Social Welfare Tribunal is a statutory body set up in 1982 to deal with cases where entitlement to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance are refused due to an involvement in a trade dispute. The last sitting of the Social Welfare Tribunal was in October 2014. No applications for adjudication have been made to the Tribunal since that date. Therefore no costs have incurred since then.
