Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I do not have before me information on vacancies. I was asked to say which appointments I had made. This relates to the National Economic and Social Council, the National Economic and Social Forum, the National Centre for Partnership and Performance, the National Statistics Board and the Ireland Newfoundland Partnership board. These are the boards to which I have made appointments, but I am not aware of which vacancies have come before me in recent weeks or months.
