Question 199: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason he has failed to provide this Deputy with information stating the number of retired officials and inspectors from his Department who have been appointed to various boards in which his Department can make such appointments and the number of appointments made in each year over the past five years; his views on whether it is acceptable that this is the third parliamentary question in which this Deputy has requested these figures without reply to date, over a three month period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would like to apologise to the Deputy for the delay in issuing a final reply to him in relation to the parliamentary questions he tabled with regard to the appointment of retired officials and inspectors from my Department to various boards over the past five years.

As indicated in my initial response the information requested was not readily available and had to be collated by officials in my Department. This task was completed earlier this month but due to an administrative error the information, which is outlined below, did not issue to the Deputy until earlier this week.
