The Abbey Theatre is a company under the Companies Acts with a Board of 11 members who are not paid. I as Minister appoint the Chair and two ordinary members. Information on the members of the Board is published on the Theatre's website at www.abbeytheatre.ie/governance/board-of-directors/.

Also published on the website are Annual Reviews and Financial Statements which itemise the number of meetings held and who attended each meeting at abbeytheatre.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Financial-Statements-2021.pdf.

There are 10 members of the Board of Trustees of the Chester Beatty and they do not receive fees for their work as members of the Board. Arrangements regarding board meetings, and the recoupment of receipted expenses incurred by Board members while carrying out their duties, are part of the day-to-day operations of this institution and I have no role in this regard.
