Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

As a general rule, any suitably qualified person may apply for a position on a Board of a State body under the aegis of my Department, when a vacancy is so advertised by the Public Appointments Service. The principles underpinning the advertisement and filling of such positions are set out in the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards (Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, November 2014).
