The number of positions on State Boards are listed below. Currently there are vacancies on two of the State Boards under the remit of my Department. In relation to the IDA, there are currently two vacancies on the Board. Following a PAS recruitment process, I have been provided with a list of prospective candidates, however, I have not yet taken a decision on these appointments.

With regard to IAASA, there are presently three vacancies on the Board. There is one position for a Chairperson, which is currently being recruited by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). The second position will be filled through a nomination from the Prescribed Accountancy Bodies. In respect of the third vacancy, I will make a decision when a list of prospective candidates has been received.

**The current temporary CEO will be replaced on the IAASA Board following a recruitment process by PAS for a CEO.
