Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The agency comprises two persons appointed by the Minister for Health and Children, one of whom is a Health Service Executive officer; two persons nominated by the DIT president — the nominees come from the governing authority on which the students' union is represented; one person nominated by the city manager of Dublin City Council; one person who is a resident of Grangegorman; one member of Dublin City Council; and I nominate the remaining six members. They must reflect all interests, including my own and the Department's. I must wait to see who is nominated by the other bodies before I can determine my appointments.
