Note 4: The initial 5 members of the Fiscal Council, including the Chairperson, were appointed on an administrative basis when the Council was established on a non-statutory basis in July 2011. These 5 members were re-appointed in December 2012 when the Council was put on a statutory footing.
Note 5: Where members, including the Chair, are employed by a body within the Irish public sector, no fee is payable to the member concerned; a time buy-out is in place to compensate the full-time public sector employers of Council members, including the Chair, for costs incurred due to their absence on IFAC business.
*: In view of the short term of the Council and the amalgamation of the Offices of the Pension Ombudsman and the Financial Services Ombudsman which required the experience of the existing Council to effect, these positions were not advertised. The appointment of an additional person with specific legal qualifications and experience was also required in 2013.
** The current Council was reappointed with effect from 29th October 2015 to 28th October 2016 (one year only) or the date of the amalgamation of the Offices of the Financial Services Ombudsman and the Pensions Ombudsman, whichever is the sooner.
*** The Minister is in the process of appointing new members to the Financial Services Ombudsman Council. This process was organised by the Public Appointments Service and publicly advertised. It is not considered appropriate to name individuals who may be appointed as the process is not concluded.
+ The Chairperson of the Board is a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine and part of her salary is in respect of her role as chairperson of the Board. Her salary is paid by the National Rehabilitation Hospital and reimbursed by the Department of Finance
++ Ordinary Members of the Medical Board of Appeal are paid a Sessional fee of €607.20 per clinic
