Question 138: To ask the Minister for Finance the number of positions on State boards and agencies under his aegis which he has advertised in the past seven months; the number of applications received; the number of applicants subsequently appointed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34505/11]

In response to the Deputy's question the State Claims Agency Policy Committee currently has two vacancies. These positions have not been advertised to-date and the appointments have not been made. While not directly covered by the Deputy's question, I would draw to his attention the fact that I conducted an expression of interest process (following a public advertisement in April 2011) for people seeking to be appointed or nominated to the boards of certain banks. Some 480 applications were received and I now have available to me, following the assessment and evaluation of the expressions of interest, a panel of 30 names of suitably qualified individuals from which to make possible appointments or nominations to the boards of certain banks as appropriate.
