I propose to take Questions Nos. 582 and 583 together.
The information requested on the number of appointments made to State boards, including details relating to chairpersons appointments, is outlined in the following table.
Eleven of the relevant Chairpersons appeared before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection between March 2011 and November 2015.
Under new guidelines for Appointments to State Boards, which can be viewed on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's website www.per.gov.ie, the process for filling vacancies on State Boards under the aegis of the Department, is now normally managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS), whereby applications are made through the dedicated website www.stateboards.ie. An assessment process is undertaken by PAS leading to the creation of a list of candidate deemed suitable for appointment to boards.
