I propose to take Questions Nos. 325 and 326 together.

Four bodies operate under the aegis of the Department of Foreign Affairs, namely, the Advisory Board for Development Co-operation Ireland, the Development Education Advisory Committee, the Board of the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange, or the Fulbright Commission, and the Díon Committee. The three year term of the Advisory Board for Development Co-operation Ireland is due to end this year and a new board will be appointed in the autumn. The appointees will be selected on the basis of their individual expertise and their ability to contribute to the work of the board. New members are in the process of being appointed to the Development Education Advisory Committee. There are no current or expected vacancies on the board of the Fulbright Commission or on the Díon Committee.
