Details of the semi-State companies and statutory agencies under the remit of my Department are available on my Department's website www.dttas.ie. Details of all current State Board appointments are also on the site.

Details of Board membership for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 can be found in the Annual Reports and Accounts of the relevant organisations together with details of all expenses associated with membership of these boards. Annual Reports and Accounts for 2011 will be available for most agencies by mid year which will contain 2011 details.

In respect of the skills and expertise that individual appointees bring, I will shortly be laying a document before the Houses of the Oireachtas which will set out a brief summary of such in respect of those appointments made by myself over the course of the past year. In respect of appointments before that time, that information is not readily available and would require significant diversion of resources to collate.
