Since 2014, all vacancies/positions on State boards are advertised openly on the State Boards portal operated by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). Under Section 9 of the Department of Public Expenditure 2014, there are a number of specific exceptions from the arrangements where it is open for Ministers to appoint Board members, other than in accordance with the process.

Information relating to board appointments for agencies under my Department's remit and the basis of that appointment is available on stateboards.ie and on my Department’s website.
