Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 October 2004
257 Mr. Morgan asked the Minister for Transport the name, relevant qualifications and process by which each person appointed to a state board operating under the aegis of his Department was appointed since 1994. [26016/04]
View answerThe Department of Transport was established on 6 June 2002. Appointments to State boards are made on the basis of the experience and/or knowledge which the relevant persons can bring to the board in question and not necessarily their academic qualifications or political persuasion.
For specific appointments made to boards under the aegis of my Department since its establishment in 2002, I refer the Deputy to the answers to Question No. 211 of 25 February 2004, Question No. 472 of 15 June 2004 and Question No. 214 of 7 October 2004.
