Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 December 2012
149. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in the view of his appointing board members to Irish Water Safety, if he will consider appointing a representative to the board of Swim Ireland. [55921/12]
View answerIrish Water Safety is a body under the aegis of my Department and established under statutory instrument (The Irish Water Safety (Establishment) Order 2006). I have responsibility for the appointment of members to the Council of Irish Water Safety.
In contrast, Swim Ireland is a non-governmental organisation and I do not have a role in the appointment of its Board.
