Details regarding membership of relevant State Boards funded from my Department's Vote are outlined in the table.
It should be noted that the membership of a number of boards includes nominated or ex officio members in respect of which I have no input as Minister. In the case of the North South Implementation Bodies, members are appointed on a 50:50 basis from each jurisdiction.
