The only State board under the aegis of the Department of Defence is the Army Pensions Board.
Since 2011, one vacancy has arisen on the Army Pensions Board which was appropriate to be filled by public advertisement in accordance with the Government Decision of 2011 on appointments to State Boards. Details of the post were advertised on the Department of Defence website and the Public Appointments Service website and an appointment to the Board was made on foot of this process.
Outside of this, there has been one general expression of interest in appointment to State boards under the aegis of my Department.
