Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2016
250. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of appointments he has made to State boards since the move to use the Public Appointments Service two years ago to date; the names of those appointed and the relevant position on each board; the names of those persons on the short-list; the date when the short-list was provided to him; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20074/16]
View answerFull details of the appointments that have been made to the State Boards under my Department's remit are available on my Department's website at the following link http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/english/state-board-membership-and-approved-fees.
It is not the policy of the Department to release the names of those shortlisted but not appointed. I am advised that to do so may discourage future applications.
The dates of short-lists provided to my predecessor are listed in the following table.
I have not made any appointments to Boards under the remit of my Department since taking up Office but I am currently considering a number of appointments.
