The Ombudsman (Amendment) Act 2012 brought over 180 additional public service providers under the remit of the Ombudsman with effect from 1 May 2013. It is not possible to supply a definitive list of these public service providers as the Act provides for a general description of the types of "reviewable agencies" that came within remit. However, this Office has compiled an indicative list of these public service providers. The Ombudsman can examine complaints in relation to the 'administrative actions' of these public service providers which occur on or after 1 May 2013 only.
Agencies marked with CF are within remit insofar as certain functions apply as specified by Part II of the First Schedule of the Ombudsman (Amendment) Act, 2012.
Agencies marked with NS are North/South bodies which are under the Ombudsman’s remit in so far as actions taken in the Republic of Ireland by or on behalf of one of the bodies.
