View answerI would like to thank the Deputy for his question in relation to the appointment of a new Chairperson to Shannon Group.
My Department is engaging with the Public Appointments Service and a new campaign will be launched shortly. An executive search agency has also been engaged by PAS with a view to encouraging suitably qualified individuals to apply through the PAS process for this important position.
I am conscious that this is an important and challenging time for Shannon Group and I intend to appoint a new Chairperson as soon as possible.
