I would like to thank the Deputy for her question in relation to the appointment of a Chairperson to the Board of Shannon Group.

The position of Chairperson of Shannon Group was advertised by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) 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.
