Written answers

Appointments to State boards under the aegis of my Department are made to ensure that they are as representative as possible of the various interests involved. This is generally done through nominations by the organisations representing these interests as well as by the Minister. The overriding requirement in this process is that nominees will have the capacity to contribute effectively to the work of the boards on the basis of their knowledge and expertise in the relevant area. The detailed information required by the Deputy would not be readily available through the above process.
