View answerThis Government has made changes in relation to appointments to State Boards and bodies with new arrangements involving advertisement of vacancies for applications from suitably qualified candidates and, in accordance with the government Decision of 12 April 2011, I have, each year, on my Department's website, invited Expressions of Interest from persons wishing to be considered for appointment to vacancies on State Boards under the aegis of my Department and this information has been used to inform decisions for such appointments.
There have been 88 appointments made to State Boards under the aegis of my Department in the period March 2011 to 31 December 2013. The table below details all appointments to State Boards which have been filled since 9 March 2011 to 31 December 2013. My Department first advertised for expressions of interest in such appointments in June 2011.
Appointments made to State Boards under the aegis of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources from 9 March 2011 to 31 December 2013.
