The Public Appointment Service recently advertised for Expressions of Interest for upcoming vacancies on the Board of the Western Development Commission, including Expressions of Interest in the position of Chairperson. The deadline for submission of applications was Friday the 12thJune.
The Public Appointment Service (PAS) is currently processing the applications received and an Assessment Panel has been formed by PAS to consider these applications.
A list of recommended suitable candidates for both the Chairperson and ordinary board member vacancies will be submitted by PAS for my consideration and I expect appointments to the Board of the WDC to be made by mid-August.
