Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
336. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide details of any representations made on behalf of or in support of a person (details supplied) ahead of that person's reappointment to the Irish Greyhound Board; the basis on which the person was reappointed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25166/15]
View answerI have no record of any representations on behalf of or in support of the person named prior to that person's appointment to Bord Na gCon. The person named was reappointed to the Board on 12 June 2012 and the term expired on 11 June 2015. The person named remains in situ until replaced. From 1 November 2014 all appointments to State Boards are made through the Public Appointments Service. At present there are five vacancies on the Board of Bord na gCon. My Department and the Board are currently working on role specifications for these posts and when the final specification is agreed, details will be published on the Public Appointments Service website stateboards.ie seeking expressions of interest for the roles.
