Since July 2011, my Department’s website has been used as the primary mechanism for seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced persons, for consideration as members or chairpersons of the boards of State bodies under my Department’s aegis. Positions have, where appropriate, been listed on the Department’s website and, more recently, on stateboards.ieon a case by case basis as vacancies arise. The details of appointments made during 2014, up to 30 October are being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
