Written answers

The Chairperson of the Irish Rural Dwellers Association (IRDA) , Mr. James Doyle submitted an IRDA nomination for Mr. Paul Hyde to then Minister Phil Hogan on 20th November 2013 in response to a request for nominations to Panel D nominating bodies. It is not a statutory requirement for a nominating body to be incorporated as a company.   

I note that the Irish Rural Dwellers Association appeared before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht on 26th Feb 2013 and were represented by their Chairperson and their PRO.
