I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the process to appoint a new Chair which is administered by the Public Appointment Service (PAS) has now reached its final stages.

Minister of State Naughton and I met with the candidates shortlisted via the PAS process last week and I expect to make an announcement in relation to the appointment of a new Chairperson shortly.

In line with normal arrangements for the appointment of Chairs to State Boards, the Chair designate will be required to appear before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications before being formally appointed as Chair of Shannon Group.
