In response to the Deputy's question my Department does not keep a central record of all appointments made to state boards. Each Department is responsible for the boards that come under their aegis. Details in respect boards under the remit of my Department are as follows.
| Board Name | No of current members | Fees received |
| An Post National Lottery | 5 sitting members2 current vacancies to be filled | The Chairman receives no fees as he is a member of the board of An Post. The remaining members receive an annual fee of €12,600 per annum |
| Board of the Public Appointments Service | 9 Board members | Chairman Receives €11,970 and three board members each receive €7,965 per annum.Costs are kept to a minimum and no expenses are paid except for refund of rail travel from Belfast for one Board Member. |
