In adherence with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform ‘Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards’ (2014), all vacancies on the Board of the Marine Institute are filled following a State Boards campaign. Pursuant to Section 3(2) of the Marine Institute Act, 1991, the Chairperson, and eight ordinary members, are appointed by virtue of their experience in fields of expertise relevant to the functions of the Institute.

There is currently one ordinary member of the Board who also holds a representative position within the Irish fishing industry. That appointment was made following a State Boards campaign.

The current vacancy is for the Chairperson position which became vacant this month (January 2024). My officials are progressing this matter at present. In line with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform's ‘Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards’ it is anticipated that a State Board competition will be initiated in the near future.
