I recently made appointments to the Irish Manuscripts Commission. The appointments are being communicated to applicants at present and a statement will issue shortly from my Department giving details of membership. It is also intended to make appointments shortly to the National Archives Advisory Council and the Western Development Commission. In all these cases vacancies are being filled following advertisement on the dedicated website www.stateboards.ie operated by the Public Appointment Service.
