The details requested by the Deputy in relation to the statutory bodies and agencies, which come within the ambit of my Department are outlined in the following Table. In this context, it should be noted that there are currently no vacancies on any of these bodies or agencies and that appointments to the North South Language Bodies are a matter for the North South Ministerial Council.

In addition to the 8 boards and agencies listed above, it should also be noted that An Coimisinéir Teanga, Waterways Ireland, the National Drugs Strategy Team and the National Advisory Committee on Drugs are other public bodies funded by my Department. However these bodies do not have Boards.
