Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

With regard to the Board of PAS, there were no vacancies on or since 26 February 2016.

The board members of the IPA are appointed by way of ex-officio position (e.g. one member must be a Secretary General of a Government Department) or are membership nominees so the positions do not involve the Minister in any way and as such cannot be advertised.
