View answerIn accordance with the Guidelines for Appointments to State Boards, the process for filling vacancies on State boards under the aegis of my Department is managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). Appointments are made in accordance with the requirements of the governing legislation and the Guidelines.
While the specific information sought by the Deputy is not available, the Guidelines advise that, consistent with best corporate governance practice, no member of a State Board should serve more than two full terms of appointment or hold appointments to more than two State Boards.
Details of the current membership of all applicable State boards under my Department's aegis are published on www.Stateboards.ie.
