I can inform the Deputy that I have made appointments as set out below during the period in question. I can also advise the Deputy that I regard the use of the term 'quango' as entirely inappropriate in the context of the important public services provided by the agencies under my Department's aegis.
| Name of Board/Agency | Appointments made since 1 July, 2007 |
| Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal | 1 Chairperson and 6 ordinary members |
| Censorship of Publications Board | 1 |
| Legal Aid Board | 1 |
| Equality Authority | 1 Chairperson and 11 ordinary members |
| Private Security Appeal Board | 4 |
| Refugee Appeals Tribunal | 6 appointments (including 3 re-appointments) |
I have also made an appointment to the position of Refugee Applications Commissioner.
