Since March 2011, I have made 139 appointments to the Boards of the Agencies under my Department’s remit. Of these, 71 were within my discretion; 40 were as a result of a nomination process; and 27 were by virtue of the Office held and were not appropriate, therefore, for public advertisement. In one instance, the initial appointment was made prior to 2011. Of the 71 appointments made within my discretion, 38 applied through an advertised process.
The current position in relation to the composition and future vacancies on all such Boards may be accessed through the website , administered by the Public Appointments Service.
