A total of 18 Commercial and Non-Commercial State bodies, including Regulators, are currently under the aegis of my Department. Ordnance Survey Ireland is part of a merger process with the Property Registration Office and the Valuation Office which will see it transfer in time to the Department of Justice and Equality. In addition, the Digital Hub Development Agency is being merged with Dublin City Council. I have set out in the table below the list of bodies/regulators under the aegis of my Department together with the principal legislative basis for appointments to the boards of these bodies and the fees ordinarily payable to both the Chairperson and Directors of the Boards.
