I have made the following appointments since I took office:

Building Regulation Advisory Board (BRAB)Mr. Aidan O'Connor (Departmental Representative)
BRABMr. Paul Kelly

The Boards of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and An Bord Pleanala are executive in nature and members are employed on a full time salaried basis. The appointments as Chairperson of An Bord Pleanála and Director General of the EPA were made by Government after competitions held by the Public Appointments Service. On 10 November 2011, I nominated Professor William Reville to the position of Chairman of the Board of the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland. Before being formally appointed, Professor Reville will appear before the Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Transport, Culture and Gaeltacht on the 23 November 2011 to discuss the approach which he will take to his role as Chairperson.

The following members were appointed to the Board of Pobal, a not for profit company under the aegis of my Department, by Government on 14 October 2011:

· Mr. Séamus Boland (Chair)

· Mr. Thomas Maguire

· Mr. Liam Keane

· Ms. Siobhan McLoughlin

No other persons have been nominated for appointments to state Boards by any Minister at my Department.
