I assume that the Deputy is referring to appointments to boards of State Bodies under the aegis of my Department.
The following table sets out appointments made by me to State boards since 1st December 2009 and the relevant fee for the member appointed. The Deputy may wish to note that a reduction in fees applied to members of boards of non-commercial bodies in accordance with the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009 with effect from 1st January 2009. The payment of expenses to chairpersons and directors of boards is a day to day operational matter for each body in line with the relevant Department of Finance guidelines.
