Minister for Social Protection

The 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) and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

These bodies do not subscribe to the daily inflation data for Ireland collected by the company specified by the Deputy.
