I raise the appointments made by the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Heather Humphreys, to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, IMMA. Of the nine appointments made, only three of them were women. Concerns have been expressed to me about the artistic expertise of some of the nine appointments. I understand a broad range of expertise, not only artistic, is required for State boards. One will appreciate, however, the Government has form with appointments to IMMA.

Gender diversity on State boards should be a key priority for any Minister making those appointments-----
