Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2017
277. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Social Protection if all agencies under her aegis have an up to date tax clearance certificate; the agencies which do not have an up to date tax clearance certificate; the reason they do not have a tax clearance certificate in each case, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30292/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council, the Pensions Ombudsman and the Social Welfare Tribunal.
I can confirm that the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Authority have up-to-date tax clearance certificates.
As the financial and budgetary matters in relation to the operation of the Pensions Council, the Pensions Ombudsman and the Social Welfare Tribunal are administered directly by my Department, the requirement for these bodies to hold separate tax clearance certificates does not arise.
