* In cases where a complaint of improper conduct is made against a Personal Insolvency Practitioner (PIP) and the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) carries out an investigation it will then request the Minister to convene a PIP Complaints Committee from those persons placed on the Complaints Panel.
** The merger of the Equality Authority with the Human Rights Commission is being progressed. On an interim basis and pending enactment of the necessary legislation, as Minister I appointed 12 of the persons nominated as members of the Human Rights Commission to also be members of the Equality Authority. A single fee - in the amount indicated in the table - only is payable in respect of these appointments.
Travel and Subsistence, in accordance with relevant Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (D/PER) circulars may be paid where applicable.
