The Table below sets out the names of all nominees to bodies and agencies appointed by a Minister of this Department since the establishment of the Department of Transport on 6th June 2002. The Table includes the date of appointment and the name of the Minister who made the appointment. It would not be appropriate to include the addresses of appointees.

In relation to nominees to port companies and harbour authorities, the table lists the appointments from January 2006 when responsibility for ports and harbours transferred to the Department.

The payment of fees, expenses, overtime and other incidental costs associated with members of Boards are a matter for the agencies and bodies concerned. Officials of the Department who are members of boards do not receive a fee, salary or remuneration in respect of such membership and any expenses incurred are normally payable by the Department in accordance with civil service norms.

The Commission for Taxi Regulation (CTR) and the Railway Safety Commission do not have Boards. However, both have Advisory Councils and the Minister appoints the members to both Councils.
