Written answers

Minister for Finance

Circular 25/2016 states that State Bodies under the aegis of Government Departments must provide and maintain a dedicated email address for Oireachtas members. The circular applies to all bar three of the bodies under the aegis of my Department.

These three bodies are the Credit Union Advisory Committee (CUAC), the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal (DDMBA) and the Credit Union Restructuring Board (ReBo). CUAC is an advisory committee set up to advise the Minister for Finance in relation to credit union matters. It meets in my Department, with Department officials providing a secretariat function to the committee; it does not have a dedicated email address. The DDMBA is a board of medical practitioners appointed by the Minister for Finance from a body of interested registered medical practitioners, on the recommendation of the Minister of Health. While it does not have a dedicated email address, it is contactable through the National Rehabilitation Hospital. Having concluded its restructuring work, ReBo was operationally wound down in 2017 and is awaiting formal dissolution.

The contact details for Members of the Oireachtas in respect of each of the remaining bodies is set out in the table below.
