My Department oversees two bodies which have independent decision-making responsibilities. Below, is a list of the two bodies under my Department's remit which are quasi-judicial in nature:

  • Student Grant Appeals Board - This is an independent appeals board created under the Student Support Act, 2011.
  • The Higher Education Authority - This is a quasi-judicial decision making body for the purposes of Pension Appeals from Higher Education Bodies pursuant to Schedule 5 of the Universities Act, 1997 (as amended).
