The information requested by the Deputy relating to State Boards is available on my Department's website at the following link: http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/english/state-board-membership-and-approved-fees.
The overall gender balance of the boards under my Department's remit currently stands at 73% male, 27% female.
I am currently considering means by which the appointment processes can be enhanced to ensure in so far as possible the best appointments are made, in doing so I will also be cogniscant of the need to meet the Government's gender balance target.
