Since 1^stJanuary 2014, I have made eleven appointments to Boards of Agencies within my discretion. Appointments and reappointments were also allocated under legislation to Department Representatives, social partners, nominees of other Ministers, nominees of prescribed bodies and appointments on an Ex Officio basis. There were three reappointments of members whose terms of appointments were coming to an end while the remaining five were allocated under legislation to social partners and nominees of prescribed bodies.

In making appointments, I have primary regard to the skills and attributes of potential appointees. Of the eleven new appointments made at my discretion, seven were selected from those who sent an Expression of Interest in response to a publicly advertised process administered by the Public Appointments Service. The information sought by the Deputy is presented in tabular format below.
