Regarding An Foras Teanga, nominations to fill vacancies are made by the Irish Government and the Northern Ireland authorities, with appointments being made by the North-South Ministerial Council. Mark Thompson was appointed to the Ulster-Scots Agency to fill a casual vacancy in that position with effect from 20 June 2005 and subsequently as chair of the agency, with effect from 12 October 2005. I might also mention that the term of office of all existing Foras Teanga board members was extended in December 2005 for a period of one year.
