Question:

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The Irish National Stud Company Limited is a commercial State Body.  The appointment of a Chief Executive Officer is a matter for the Board of the Irish National Stud, subject to the consent of the relevant Ministers. I understand a recruitment competition is currently underway.
