Lieutenant General S. MacEoin and Dr. M. Finn, former chairman and ordinary member, respectively, of the Army Pensions Board were replaced in July, 1973. Appointees to the Army Pensions Board do not have a fixed term of appointment. Mr. H.D. Porter, BL, and Dr. A.E. Carragher, MD, DPH, have been appointed chairman and ordinary member respectively. In addition, the terms of office of 14 Government-nominated members of the Central Council of the Irish Red Cross Society expired with effect from the 1st August, 1973, and the Government, pursuant to article 8 (4) (a) of the Irish Red Cross Society Order, 1939, and article 2 (b) of the Irish Red Cross Society (Amendment) Order, 1973, nominated 14 members to hold office until the 30th April, 1976. Twelve of the previous Government-nominated members were not renominated and 12 new members were nominated in their place.
One of the previous Government-nominated members who were not renominated was also chairman of the society who, under article 9 (3) of the Irish Red Cross Society Order, 1939, thereby ceased to be chairman. A new chairman was nominated by the President under Article 9 (4) of the Irish Red Cross Society Order, 1939, to hold office for a period of three years from the 1st August, 1973. As the names of the 12 previous members of the Central Council of the Irish Red Cross Society and of those who replaced them are in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have them circulated with the Official Report.
