676. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the number of chairpersons appointed to State boards under the aegis of his Department who have appeared before the relevant joint Oireachtas committee since March 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46265/15]
View answerThere have been 17 appointments to the position of Chairperson to State boards under the aegis of my Department since March 2011. Of these, 9 have appeared before the relevant Joint Oireachtas Committee in line with current Government policy on the appointment of Chairpersons to State Boards. It should be noted that a number of the appointments were reappointments and therefore an appearance before the Joint Oireachtas Committee was not required.
