My Department does not collect information on board membership of senior Departmental staff. Section 6(4) of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 requires each public body to publish a list of designated public officials of the body, and the list for my Department can be found here: www.gov.ie/en/organisation-information/953ec3-regulation-of-lobbying/

The information requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Body to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out in the following table.
