The number of appointments which were made to State Boards in 2014 without  being advertised and the number that have been made of persons who had not formally applied for consideration of the particular appointment is detailed in the table.

The majority of the appointments were in the main reappointments of Board members. The exceptions were in relation to appointments to National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA), where the new appointment resulted following a change of Secretary General in the Department of Finance, and the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) where an interim board has been appointed. In the case of appointments to the finalised SCBI Board and future appointments to State Boards the recent Government Decision in relation to the appointment process to State Boards will be adhered to by my Department.
