The information sought by the Deputy is provided in the following Table. It may be noted that the National Archives of Ireland has an Advisory Council, rather than a Board. The Public Appointments Service operates a dedicated website, www.stateboards.ie, through which it advertises vacancies on State Boards. Arrangements are currently in train in co-operation with the Public Appointments Service to fill the vacancies listed in the Table, other than in relation to An Foras Teanga.
In the case of appointments to the boards of Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency, being agencies of the North South Implementation Body, An Foras Teanga, these are made by the North South Ministerial Council, arising from nominations on a 50:50 basis by each jurisdiction.
