Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I asked who has taken the role of assessing the potential appointees. Has the Taoiseach put any guidelines in place for the selection process?

Is the process similar to that followed for appointments to the Department of public expenditure and reform? The process seems similar but it is taking much longer. Has the Taoiseach considered the procedure followed by the Minister without Portfolio? Is he happy with that procedure? Why did that take less time?
