Details of membership of bodies established under the aegis of my Department are not held by reference to any disabilities. Members of State boards and bodies under the aegis of my Department are appointed through well established nominating procedures, having regard both to the remit of the boards and bodies and, consequently, the competencies and skills expected of their members. In many instances, the members are nominated through relevant nominating panels. NESC and NESF, for example, comprise representatives of the various pillars involved in social partnership, namely, employer bodies, trade unions, farming organisations and community and voluntary organisations.
