Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

There are three agencies that come under the aegis of my Department; the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman, the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Board. All the staff of these agencies are paid in accordance with pay scales approved by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There are no top-up payments made to any of these staff.
