Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

While the statutory function for appointing members of the Board of Caranua rests with the Minister for Education and Skills, the application and selection process is managed on my behalf by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) in accordance with the Guidelines on Appointments to State Board published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

I can confirm that the Chief Executive of Caranua was not a member of the PAS assessment panel that considered applications from individuals seeking to be appointed to the Board.
