* The responsibility for appointments to the Children Detention Schools Board of Management moved to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs on 1 January, 2012.
** With one exception, none of the persons appointed are in receipt of a salary. The persons concerned are entitled to travel and subsistence expenses where appropriate. Meetings are arranged to minimise such expenses. I wish to inform the Deputy that no fees are paid to public servants, to board members who waive their entitlement or in respect of appointments which attract no fees.
