The information sought by the Deputy concerning the current status of State boards in relation to the participation of women and men, and also a breakdown by gender of all appointments to State boards since my appointment as Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, is set out in the following tables. I should add that my Department reviews the membership of boards, including gender balance, on a regular basis.
