102 Mrs. Fennell asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht the number of women on the boards of agencies and companies under his control at the end of 1991; the plans, if any, he has to increase the number in 1992; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Aire na Gaeltachta (Mr. Wilson)

Tá seachtar ban ar bhoird na n-eagras atá faoi scáth Roinn na Gaeltachta mar seo a leanas:

Eagras	Líon iomlán ar an mBord	Líon na mban
Údarás na Gaeltachta	7 tofa	—
	6 ainmnithe	2
Bord na Gaeilge	12 ainmnithe	3
Bord na Leabhar Gaeilge	7 ainmnithe	2

Tá geallúint tugtha ag an Rialtas chun cur le líon na mban ar Bhoird Stáit agus in aon cheapacháin a bheidh le déanamh agam feasta beidh mé ag feidhmiú i gcomhréir leis an ngeallúint sin feadh mo chumais.
