The commitment in the Programme for Government is to have at least 40% of each gender on State boards. Currently the percentage of women on state boards under the aegis of my Department is 25.9%   

My intention is to achieve the commitment in the Programme for Government in the context of future appointments to State boards for which I have responsibility.
