The State bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

Of these State bodies, only the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Authority are required to submit quarterly prompt payment reports. The data for the period in question is published quarterly on gov.ie at: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-social-protection/collections/prompt-payment-reports/#2025.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The State bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

Of these State bodies, only two are required to submit quarterly prompt payment reports - Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Authority. I can confirm that both bodies have submitted prompt payment reports for the periods covering each quarter from 2023 onwards and including Quarter 1 2025. These details are published quarterly on my Department’s website in tabular format at: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-social-protection/collections/prompt-payment-reports/#2025.
