In making an appointment to any of the bodies under the aegis of my Department, I have regard to the body or agency in question and its particular area of responsibility etc. as well as ensuring that those appointed have the relevant qualifications for the positions and an appropriate mix of skills and experience.
The Public Appointments Service (PAS) is the centralised provider of recruitment, assessment and selection services for the Civil Service, Local Authorities, the Health Service Executive, An Garda Síochána and other public bodies.
The Public Appointments Service also aims to provide an open, efficient and effective gateway and process to identify top quality people for consideration by Ministers for appointment to State Boards. The website www.stateboards.ie is the channel used by the Public Appointments Service to both inform the public of vacancies on State Boards and to collate expressions of interest in those roles for Ministers. For each position advertised, the PAS process includes an assessment of all applications, following which a list of suitable candidates is submitted for Ministers’ consideration.
Persons being proposed for appointment as chairpersons of State bodies/Agencies will be required to appear before the appropriate Oireachtas committee prior to them being formally appointed by a Minister or the Government as chairperson.
