1 There have been no appeals in recent years and as a result it has not proven necessary to convene a Board.
2 Recruitment via the stateboards.ie process is currently underway and it is expected that appointments to the Board will be made in the near future.
3 A competition was held by the Public Appointments Service earlier this year and a successful candidate selected who will take up the position in the coming months
4 This vacancy arose due to the resignation of a board member. The term of office of the Board expires in October 2016 and the vacancies will be advertised via the stateboards.ie process.
