The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the attached table. In line with the Government's new arrangements for appointments to State Boards, all appointments are advertised through stateboards.ie,except where other processes are in place as specified in Section 9 of the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards (November 2014). Suitable candidates are identified following an assessment process conducted by the Public Appointments Service on the basis of criteria determined as necessary for the effective performance of the relevant role.
In addition, proposed chairperson appointees are required to appear before the relevant Oireachtas Committee.
Further details relating to the Boards of State Bodies under my Department's remit can be found on egovernance.ie.
