Written answers

In response to the Deputy's query, please find, in tabular form, the number of new State bodies and agencies under his remit that have been established since February 2011; the number of such bodies subject to a sunset clause; and the number of new public bodies currenty being planned

I would ask the Deputy to note that The New Economy and Recovery Authority (NewERA) has been established on a statutory basis within the NTMA following the commencement of the relevant section of the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2014. All staff assigned to the NewERA are employees of the NTMA. NewERA is not a new Body/Agency it is a new function of the NTMA.

Credit Union Restructuring Board (ReBo)

ReBo was established by the Minister on an Administrative basis in August 2012. ReBo was placed on a statutory basis on 1 January 2013 on commencement of section 42 of the 2012 Act

Yes. ReBo was to have fulfilled its statutory function by December 2015. However, following a review of ReBo by the Minister credit unions now have until 31 March 2016 to receive a letter of offer from ReBo following submission of a high level business case to ReBo. ReBo will then be able to complete all restructuring projects in a methodical manner during 2016. The Minister can then dissolve ReBo when he is satisfied that ReBo has completed the performance of its functions under Part 3 of the Credit Union and Overseas Regulators Act 2012
