The information requested by the Deputy is available on my Department's website at the following link www.dttas.ie/corporate/english/state-board-membership-and-approved-fees. 

Subject to legislative requirements, it is at the Minister's discretion that vacancies arising are filled or left vacant. When a vacancy occurs or is due to occur, the justification for filling the vacancy is reviewed and a decision made by me. In so far as possible, arrangements, such as time for the PAS selection process (details of their processes are available on their website www.stateboards.ie/stateboards/), are put in place to allow an approved vacancy to be filled as close as possible to the date that the vacancy arises.
