Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2018
1066. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number required for a full complement of the board of Fáilte Ireland; the number required for a quorum; the number of vacancies as at 1 June 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24629/18]
View answerUnder the National Tourism Development Act 2003, the Board of Fáilte Ireland shall consist of a Chairperson and twelve ordinary members, who are appointed by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.
The quorum is five for a meeting of the Authority, unless otherwise directed by the Minister.
As of the 1st June, there are seven vacancies on the Board of Fáilte Ireland. Following an advertising campaign run by the Public Appointment Service, a short-list of suitable candidates for consideration has recently been submitted by the Public Appointments Service to the Department and I expect to be in a position to fill the seven vacancies in the very near future.
