None of the boards under the aegis of the Department of Foreign Affairs is a statutory body. Of the non-statutory boards under the aegis of my Department, no fees are paid to chairpersons of the advisory board for Development Co-operation Ireland, the Development Education Advisory Committee or the board of the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange, the Fulbright Commission. A First Secretary at the Irish Embassy in London acts, without additional remuneration, as chairperson of the Díon committee — an advisory committee to the Government established in response to concerns about the situation of Irish emigrants in Britain.
