Appointments to State Boards Data
Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of vacancies in each State board under the aegis of his Department, in tabular form.
Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills the names of persons he has appointed to each State board under the aegis of his Department that have not come from the Public Appointments Service’s list of suitable candidates, in tabular form.
Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Richard Bruton): I propose to take Questions Nos. 162 and 167 together.
For the Deputy’s information details of the State Boards that fall under the remit of my Department, including details of board appointments to the respective State Boards are available on my Department’s website at the following link; http://education.ie/en/The-Department/Agencies/.
The Deputy should note that individuals may be nominated for appointment by various organisations arising from the terms in the relevant Statutes of the Body concerned and accordingly board appointments while made by me are not in all cases made at my discretion.
In all cases where I had discretion, appointments were made from a list of candidates supplied by PASS or, in the case of re-appointments, they were made in line with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reforms November 2014 guidance circular.
The information requested by the Deputy in regard to the number of vacant positions on bodies in conjunction with details of board appointments to bodies under the aegis of my Department are provided in the attached two tables.
