One former school inspector is contracted as a consultant as the interim manager of three schools pending the amendment of the Vocational Education Act to enable patrons of these schools to establish Boards of Management.

Another retired school inspector has been appointed to the board of directors of the Middletown Centre for Autism based at Armagh which is a body jointly funded by my Department and the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. The Board of Directors is expected to meet 8 to 10 times a year. A former Assistant Secretary is on the board of FAS.

Two retired inspectors were contracted this year to translate documents into the Irish language as required.

I do no have the information requested by the Deputy to hand on the other bodies under the aegis of my Department and I have requested officials at my Department to contact the bodies concerned. I will forward the information to the Deputy in due course.
