View answerThere is currently one vacancy on the board of the Marine Institute. I have recently appointed three new ordinary board members and this process is being finalised
The current vacancy is for the Chairperson position which became vacant this month (January 2024). My officials are progressing this matter at present. In line with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform's ‘Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards’ it is anticipated that a State Board competition will be initiated in the near future.
