​The information requested by the Deputy relating to State Boards is available on my Department's website at the following link . The overall percentage of female board members currently stands at 27%.

I am currently considering means by which the appointment processes can be enhanced to ensure in so far as possible the best appointments are made, in doing so I will also be cogniscant of the need to meet the Government's gender balance target.
