Irish Water Safety is a body under the aegis of my Department and established under statutory instrument (The Irish Water Safety (Establishment) Order 2006). I have responsibility for the appointment of members to the Council of Irish Water Safety.

In contrast, Swim Ireland is a non-governmental organisation and I do not have a role in the appointment of its Board.
