I propose to take Questions Nos. 648 and 649 together.

There were a number of appointments as a result of internal Principal Officer competitions in my Department since 7 July 2015. In addition to these appointments there were further appointments from the 2015 open Principal Officer competitions run by the Public Appointments Service, as well as some filling of PO posts through external mobility. Principal Officer posts are assigned over time in accordance with the sequencing arrangements agreed centrally through the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. A breakdown of the appointments made through the competitions referred to is included in the following table.

The details requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out as follows:
