The current vacancies on the Boards of bodies under the aegis of my Department are set out in the table.
The Public Appointments Service (PAS) operates a dedicated website, , through which it advertises vacancies on State Boards. Arrangements are currently in train in co-operation with PAS to fill vacancies on the Board of Údarás na Gaeltachta.
It should be noted that in the case of Foras na Gaeilge, Board appointments are made by the North/South Ministerial Council following nomination on a 50:50 basis from each jurisdiction. The current Foras na Gaeilge vacancies require nomination by the Northern Executive for subsequent North South Ministerial Council approval.
It should further be noted that the current vacancy on the Board of the National Museum of Ireland is for a staff nominee.
State Board | Number of Current Vacancies |
---|---|
Arts Council | 2 |
Crawford Art Gallery | 1 |
Foras na Gaeilge (An Foras Teanga) | 3 |
Heritage Council | 1 |
Irish Museum of Modern Art | 1 |
National Museum of Ireland | 1 |
Údarás na Gaeltachta | 11 |
