Appointments to North-South Bodies are not made by the Minister but by the North-South Ministerial Council arising from nominations on a 50:50 basis from both jurisdictions. However, for the sake of completeness, I can inform the Deputy that 15 appointments were made by the Council in December 2011 to the board of Foras na Gaeilge, and 8 appointments were made to the board of the Ulster-Scots Agency. The fees for board members of these North-South bodies are; Chair —€11,970/Stg£8,140, Vice-Chair —€9,830/Stg£6,690 and Member —€7,695/Stg£5,235.
