The information requested is not held by my Department.
In making appointments to State boards under my remit, my Department operates in accordance with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards, published in November 2014.
The Public Appointments Service has responsibility for managing an open, accessible and transparent system to support Ministers in making State board appointments and it is open to the public to apply for positions advertised on the stateboards.ie website.
Although the information requested in the Question may be available as part of the original application and appointment processes for State board membership, under General Data Protection Regulation guidelines, my Department does not have access to this information once appointments have been made.
The names of individuals currently serving on State Boards under the aegis of my Department are available on the following link:
