Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2023
635. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the reason an applicant to a Board was unsuccessful (details supplied); the pathway to receive full feedback on their application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44883/23]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the initial process for filling vacancies on State Boards, for bodies under the aegis of my Department, are managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS), who hold responsibility for the recruitment and assessment process in respect of new appointments to those Governing Boards.
PAS are currently running a process in respect of the board referred to by the Deputy.
Candidates who are unsuccessful in the varying stages of this process are welcome to request feedback on their application by contacting PAS directly through their website StateBoards.ie.
