The Irish National Stud Company Limited is a commercial State Body. The appointment of a Chief Executive Officer is a matter for the Board of the Irish National Stud, subject to the consent of the relevant Ministers.

The INS has informed me that the selection process is underway and it is expected that second round interviews will take place shortly.
