Kathleen Lynch

Question:

78 Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if it is her intention to reappoint worker directors to the new board of FÁS; her views on whether worker directors bring an essential experience and expertise to the board; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35631/09]

View answer

I recently published the Labour Services (Amendment) Bill, 2009, which sets out the criteria for the selection of members to the Board of FÁS. It is proposed, following enactment of the Bill, that appointments to the Board of FÁS will be based on a person's individual talents and experience as described in the Bill.
