Governing Bodies of Institutes of Technology consist of a Chairperson and 17 ordinary members (18 in the case of DIT), and the Director/President of the Institute. The Chairpersons of governing bodies are appointed by the Minister. The ordinary members are appointed by the Minister on the recommendation of the relevant Vocational Education Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Institutes of Technology Acts 1992 to 2006 and the Dublin Institute of Technology Acts 1992 to 2006.

Members of governing bodies do not receive remuneration but are entitled to claim travel and subsistence on the same basis as the arrangements in the Higher Education Sector and the Public Service.
