There are four bodies operating under the aegis of my Department to which I make appointments. These are: the Ireland - United States Commission for Educational Exchange (the Fulbright Commission); the Development Education Advisory Committee, the Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group, and the Emigrant Services Advisory Committee. I have made no appointments to these bodies during the period in question. However, the two-year term of the current Emigrant Services Advisory Committee, with a membership of twelve persons, expired on 31 December 2010. The Chair and Secretary are both officers of the Embassy in London, while the ten other Committee members serve in a voluntary capacity. Appointments to the Committee are made by me, in consultation with Embassy London and the Irish Abroad Unit in my Department.
