Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

She does not have to inform me of every appointment made to every board.

In the case of chairmen of boards, the Government changed the rules and chairmen must come before the relevant Oireachtas committee to see what the applicant brings to the board.

I am not informed of every individual appointment made for non-remunerated positions on State boards, where there are thousands of positions to be filled over the years. However, from now on all of that process is removed from politics and politicians. All the positions will be publicly advertised and externally verified.
