I propose to take Questions Nos. 738 to 740, inclusive, together.

The table sets out details of the current vacancies and of all vacancies expected to arise between 12 January 2011 and 11 April 2011 in agencies under the aegis of my Department.

Currently five officials in my Department sit on boards of institutions in receipt of funds from my Department. One official sits on the boards of the National Concert Hall, Culture Ireland and the Science Museum and a second officer sits on the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Irish Manuscripts Commission. The remaining three officers sit on the boards of the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, the Foynes Flying Boat Museum and the Irish Manuscripts Commission.
