I would like to thank the Deputy for his question. In my reply which follows, I am surmising that the Deputy is referring to the position of Chairperson of the Board of Shannon Group, (a position previously held by Ms. Rose Hynes) as opposed to a replacement of Shannon Group’s Chief Executive Officer.

The position of Chairperson of Shannon Group Board was advertised by the Public Appointments Service and the closing date for receipt of applications was 14 October last.  An Assessment Panel has been convened by PAS to consider the applications received. I expect to receive a shortlist of the most suitably qualified candidates shortly and I hope to be in a position to appoint a new Chairperson to Shannon Group in the coming weeks .
