Written Answers. - Ministerial Appointments.

Ivor Callely

Question:

160 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will issue a full list of names of all appointments and the State organisation to which the appointments were made in relation to each appointment made to bodies under the aegis of his Department during the months of May and June 1997; the period of the appointment; and the date on which the next appointments will be made for each body. [15390/97]

Mary Hanafin

Question:

164 Ms Hanafin asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of appointments made to boards or bodies under the aegis of his Department between 1 May 1997 and 26 June 1997; the names of the appointees; the boards to which they were appointed; and the number of board vacancies which remained vacant after 26 June, but which could have been filled prior to 26 June. [15565/97]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 160 and 164 together. I assume the Deputies are referring to appointments made directly by my predecessor to boards and bodies under his aegis. The number of valid appointments made in that period was 42.

The detailed information requested by the Deputies is set out in the following tabular statement.

Appointments are made to vacancies on boards and bodies as soon as may be after vacancies occur and following due consideration of prospective appointees.

Appointments by the Minister for Health to State boards under the aegis of his Department between 1 May 1997 and 30 June 1997 and fillable vacancies, on or before 26 June 1997.
