189. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social Protection the total number of chairpersons of State boards, agencies and regulators that fall under her Department’s responsibility that were chairpersons when she became Minister and continue to be chairpersons; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [55166/13]
View answerThe statutory bodies operating under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Board, the Pensions Ombudsman (which does not have a board, or a chairperson), and the Social Welfare Tribunal.
Three chairpersons were in place when I became Minister in March 2011 and these three are still in that role.
