The information requested by the Deputy is available on my Department's website at the following link . New procedures advertised by my Department on Friday 8th April 2011 involved an open invitation to members of the public to submit expressions of interest in serving on the board of any of the Agencies operating under my aegis, rather than specific advertisements for particular positions. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform subsequently announced new procedures for the appointments process on 30th September 2014. These procedures came into effect on 1st November 2014 and consequently now all positions for State Board appointments can be viewed through the Public Appointments Service (PAS) portal at .
