Vol. 554 No. 5
153 Mr. Allen asked the Taoiseach the appointments made by him to boards, agencies or committees operating under the aegis of his Department from 17 April 2002 to date [17189/02]
The bodies under the aegis of my Department are the National Statistics Board, the National Economic and Social Council – NESC, the National Economic and Social Forum – NESF, the Information Society Commission, the National Centre for Partnership and Performance – NCPP – and the Law Reform Commission. In addition, the National Economic and Social Development Office Bill provides for the establishment of the National Economic and Social Development Office, amalgamating NESC, NESF and NCPP. There have been no appointments made to these bodies by me since 17 April 2002.
With regard to committees, the new chairman of the Financial Services Industry Association, Mr. William Slattery, has joined the IFSC Clearing House Group and Mr. Ian Clancy, chairman of the Dublin International Insurance and Managers Association, has joined the IFSC Insurance Working Group.
154 Mr. Allen asked the Taoiseach the solicitors or barristers who were appointed since July 1997 as members or chairpersons of any board or committee or other body, advisers, consultants, or as holders of any other position or office other than judicial office under the aegis of or in his Department; the name of the person in each case; if these persons are a solicitor or barrister; the position to which these persons were appointed; the date of appointment; the date these persons ceased to hold the position if applicable; the remuneration paid since July 1997; and if the holding of particular legal qualifications or experience was a requirement for the position in question. [17246/02]

The amounts quoted include VAT where applicable. This table does not include details in respect of the State law offices, which are not directly under the aegis of my Department, or in respect of solicitors or barristers who are engaged specifically to provide legal advice.
