I propose to take Questions Nos. 540 to 542, inclusive, together.
I wish to inform the Deputy that the information requested is outlined in the accompanying table. The Deputy should note that under the heading of "Qualifications", unless otherwise stated, I have given details of the legislative basis of the appointments concerned as this provides the requisite criteria for appointment.
I also wish to advise the Deputy that in a few cases I reappointed persons that I had previously appointed during the period concerned as indicated by the word "reappointed" after the names of the individuals concerned. For this reason and in order to avoid potential double counting I am unable to provide the percentage of appointments made that were subject to a public appointments process. However details of all appointments and whether the posts were advertised are detailed below.

I wish to advise the Deputy that members of the Judiciary are appointed by the President and not by the Minister for Justice and Equality. However, to be of assistance and because the Deputy has specifically requested details of Judicial appointments, I have listed the appointments concerned below.
