755. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of State boards under the remit of his Department or its agencies; the total number of members of each board; the numbers on each board broken down according to gender; and the number of persons with a declared disability on each board in tabular form. [41391/22]
View answerThe website Stateboards.ie sets out various boards under each Department and can be found at the following link:

More specifically, the details of each board under my Department's aegis along with details of the board and information on each board member including gender breakdown can be found at the link below:

Part V of the Disability Act 2005 provides that public bodies are required to collect and report data on the number and proportion of employees with disabilities. My Department collects this information from the public bodies under its aegis and submits an annual report to the National Disability Authority.
However, Board members are not employees and, therefore, such information is neither collected nor available within my Department.
