Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2009
390 Deputy Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the appointments he has made to public bodies since the Government was formed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5704/09]
View answerA number of different statutory processes are involved in appointments to State bodies and boards. In some cases statutory selection procedures must be followed or nominations must be sought from independent nominating panels before appointments are made by the Government or by me, as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. In other cases only particular public office holders may be appointed to certain boards. In a number of situations, only some appointments to the body concerned are made by me, or appointments are made with the consent of the Minister for Finance, or following consultation with the Minister for Finance or Minister for Education and Science, as appropriate.
In the context of the above, the information requested in relation to appointments made by me since the Government was formed is set out in the following table:
