Information relating to current vacancies on the boards of agencies within my Department’s remit is presented in tabular format below.
As the Deputy will be aware the Government decided on 30th September 2014 that all appointments (with some limited exceptions) are to be advertised on the State Boards portal, stateboards.ie, operated by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). The process is a transparent assessment system designed and implemented by PAS to support the relevant Minister in making appointments to State Boards under his/her remit. Applicants must meet specific and detailed criteria determined by the relevant Minister as necessary for the effective performance of the relevant role(s).
The limited exemptions comprise appointments allocated under legislation to social partners, nominees of prescribed bodies and appointments on an ex officio basis and are not appropriate, therefore, for public advertisement.
In relation to committees, which are generally subject-specific and usually time-bound, these do not fall within the reformed state boards process, are generally not remunerated positions and comprise experts and/or sectorial representatives.
