I can inform the Deputy that there are 18 State bodies under the aegis of my Department. Of these there are 15 whose boards are appointed in whole in or in part by the Minister and/or the Government. The table details the information requested on the board positions, including Chairpersons, which have been filled since I took office, taking into consideration requirements and qualifications set out in legislation governing the body, where applicable.
The Deputy will be aware, that following the Government Decision regarding new procedures for Appointments to State Boards, I publicly sought Expressions of Interest for appointments for vacancies which arise in bodies under the aegis of my Department in 2011.
