In the overwhelming majority of cases, according to the governing statutes of the State bodies in question, I as Minister appoint the members of the Boards of the State bodies under the aegis of my Department. However, the selection processes in respect of suitable candidates for Board membership differ considerably, from campaigns conducted by the Public Appointments Service, where a choice of suitable candidates may be presented to me as Minister, to single nominations from statutory nominators, as well as a variety of other selection processes.
The following table captures this information in respect of all the State bodies under the aegis of my Department.
