In response to the Deputy’s question the following table outlines the number of organisations or agencies under the remit of my Department that currently have vacancies on their Boards:
| Board Vacancies | Length of time vacancy unfilled | Vacancy advertised | Applications received for vacancy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| An Post National Lottery | One | One year and three months approximately. | No | None |
| Outside Appointments Board | One | 2 months. | No | None |
The Chair of the Outside Appointments Board resigned on 22nd November 2012 so it has been vacant for two months. My Department has not advertised for the post (which has no remuneration attaching to it) but is in the process of seeking potentially suitable candidates with a view to making a selection. The current National Lottery license is due to expire in 2013.
