Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 228 and 229 together.

As set out in correspondence sent to the Deputy on January 29th 2021, there are two State Boards which fall under the aegis of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.  

The answers provided in response to Parliamentary Questions No. 256 and 257 of 27 January 2021 provided details of State Boards that fall under the aegis of the Department, and details of appointments made by me as Minister since this Government took office.

There are a wide range of bodies which fall under the aegis of my Department, including independent Statutory Bodies, the Office of the National Lottery Regulator and the Office of the Ombudsman. Most of these organisations do not have a State Board. Please see the explanatory table below which refers. I am happy to address any further queries the Deputy may have in respect of these organisations.
