View answerIn the period in question the following appointments were made by me as Minister for Finance to bodies under the remit of my Department:
NTMA Advisory Committee
Mr. John Moran, Secretary General, Department of Finance, was appointed to the National Treasury Management Advisory Committee on the 6th March 2012. The post was not advertised because it has been the norm to appoint the Secretary General of the Department of Finance to the Advisory Committee since the establishment of the National Treasury Management Agency.
National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission
Mr. Maurice Keane was reappointed to the NPRF Commission with effect from 5th February 2012. The post was not advertised as it was a reappointment.
Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
The Fiscal Council was established in June 2011. The five members of the Council (Messrs. Sebastian Barnes, Alan Barrett, Donal Donovan, John McHale and Ms. Roisin O'Sullivan) were appointed with effect from 7th July 2011. The posts were not advertised.
National Asset Management Agency
Mr. John Mulcahy was appointed to the Board of the National Asset Management Agency. He was not appointed under the new procedures for board appointments as he was an internal appointment from within the National Asset Management Agency. Mr. Mulcahy is head of Asset Management within the National Asset Management Agency.
