The Development Education Advisory Committee; the Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group; and the Emigrant Services Advisory Committee. The Minister for Foreign Affairs makes the appointments to these bodies. No appointments to these bodies have been made 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 the Minister for Foreign Affairs, following consultation with Embassy London and the Irish Abroad Unit in this Department.
