As Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, I have responsibility for twenty-one varied and diverse State Boards. Information in relation to the membership and number of Board members on each Board is summarised in the table below. Recruitment processes are ongoing with respect to the filling of vacancies on a number of these boards.

Information on the number of Board members with a declared disability is not collated due to reasons of confidentiality and therefore it is not possible to provide the Deputy with a percentage.
