I propose to take Questions Nos. 488 and 489 together.
The details concerning the eleven bodies under the aegis of my Department, sought by the Deputy, are available in the attached tables.
For the Deputy’s information, details of board appointments to State Boards under the remit of my Department, including the term of the specific appointment and remuneration levels (where fees are payable) are available from my Department’s website at https://www.education.ie/en/The-Department/Agencies/Details-of-Membership-of-State-Boards/ This information is regularly updated.
The Deputy should note that Board appointments, while made by me as Minister, are not in all cases made at my discretion. Individuals may be nominated for appointment by various organisations arising from the terms in the relevant legislation regarding the Body concerned.
