Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
159. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of State boards under the remit of her Department or its agencies, in tabular form; the total number of members of each board; the number of women on each board; and the percentage of each board that is made up of women. [39339/16]
View answerDetails regarding membership of relevant State Boards funded from my Department's Vote are outlined in the table. It should be noted that the membership of a number of boards includes nominated or ex officio members in respect of which I have no input as Minister. In the case of the North South Implementation Bodies, members are appointed on a 50:50 basis from each jurisdiction.
