Minister for Defence

The agencies associated with my Department in the period 2011 to 2013 were the Civil Defence Board, the Army Pensions Board and the Board of Coiste an Asgard. The Civil Defence Board and the Board of Coiste an Asgard were dissolved in 2012 and 2013 respectively. All three agencies were staffed by civil servants, none of whom received bonuses during the period in question.
