I can inform the Deputy that the number of State Boards, agencies, regulators or other bodies under the remit of my Department is 18.

The number of bodies under the remit of my Department that have been established since June 2007 is 2. The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland was established under the Broadcasting Act 2009 and replaced the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland and the Broadcasting Complaints Commission. The new inland fisheries authority, Inland Fisheries Ireland, was established under the Inland Fisheries Act 2010. The new authority replaces the Central Fisheries Board and seven regional fisheries boards.

The table below sets out the members of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and Inland Fisheries Ireland. In respect of Inland Fisheries Ireland, further appointments will be made on the nomination of the Joint Oireachtas Committee in accordance with the statute.
