The Deputy will be aware that details of appointments to the various prison visiting committees have been provided in response to the Deputy's Question No. 533 of 15 June 2004. In accordance with the provisions of regulation 25 of the Garda Síochána (Discipline) Regulations 1989, I nominated Mr. Fergal Foley BL and Mr. Kevin Cross BL to a panel of persons from which the Garda Commissioner can appoint, as the need arises, a chairman of a Garda Síochána appeal board. The nominations, which came into effect from 1 June 2003, are not strictly speaking appointments to positions but nominations to a panel from which appointments might be made. The nominations were made to fill two positions on this panel left vacant following the appointment of Mr. Brian Curtin BL to the Circuit Court in November 2001 and the death of Mr. Michael Feehan SC in 2002.
