The current Chief Executive's term of office does not end until 31st January 2007. Accordingly, a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Health and Safety Authority has not yet been appointed.
The appointment of a Chief Executive of the Health and Safety Authority, including a remuneration package, is in the first instance a matter for the Board of the Authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 39 and Schedule 6 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The appointment is subject to the consent of the Minister.
I am informed that the Board of the Authority is putting in place arrangements and procedures to recruit and appoint a new Chief Executive.
