The Programme for Government provides that a number of positions on the Sports Council's governing Board will be made directly electable. This matter is under consideration in my Department at present, and I would welcome any views the Deputy may have on the matter. There are currently no vacancies on the Board of the Irish Sports Council, with the next vacancy due to arise in 2013.
