596 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide in a tabular form a breakdown of the number of board members and their respective annual remuneration for 2011 of agencies (details supplied). [15487/12]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the position in respect of my Department is that four agencies are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI), the Family Support Agency (FSA), the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children. With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the children detention schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001. They are also funded through my Department's Vote and I am responsible for the appointment of their Board of Management.
