My Department actively promotes gender balance on the State Boards under its auspices.

The table below provides the Gender Balance Percentage for the four Agencies under my remit. These Boards exceed the Government target of a minimum of 40% representation of each gender in the membership of State Boards, with the exception of the Charities Regulator. This is a matter which is being kept under review.

Board No. Members No. Female Board Members Gender Balance Percentage: Female Gender Balance Percentage: Male
Western Development Commission 12 6 50% 50%
Charities Regulatory Authority 11 4 36% 64%
Pobal 10 7 70% 30%
Water Safety Ireland 12 5 42% 58%
