I assume that the Deputy is referring to appointments made to State bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group within the past twelve months.
The Deputy may wish to note the following: · A number of bodies under the aegis of my Department do not have boards - Waterways Ireland, the Equality Tribunal and the Office of An Coimisinéir Teanga. · While Pobal, as a private company, is not a State agency, appointments to it are made by Government and details have been included accordingly. · In the case of the Ulster-Scots Agency, the appointments listed were made by the North South Ministerial Council arising from nominations from this jurisdiction. · For completeness, details have been included regarding appointments made within the past twelve months by my colleague, Minister Dermot Ahern, T.D., to the boards of the Equality Authority and the National Disability Authority, responsibility for which transferred to my Department with effect from 1 June 2010. · No appointments were made to the following boards/agencies within the ambit of my Department in the past twelve months - An Coimisiún Logainmneacha ; Foras na Gaeilge ; The Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests; The Western Development Commission; The Human Rights Commission.
