The details, as requested by the Deputy, are set out in the following table:

The vacancies on the board of the Citizens Information Board are currently advertised on Stateboards.ie with a closing date for applications of 7 August 2018.
The vacancy on the Social Welfare Tribunal is in course of being filled following the recent receipt of the requisite nomination from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU).
I should mention, finally, that there is one recent vacancy on the Pensions Council.
