As the Deputy will be aware, I resigned as a board member on being appointed Minister for the Marine, and this vacancy has yet to be filled.
The four other changes came about through the resignations of The Rt. Hon. The Earl of Meath, Dr. M. A. Pierce and Capt. A.C. Tupper and the replacement of Councillor Tomás Mac Giolla, having served his term of office as Lord Mayor. These vacancies were filled by the appointment of Mr. W. B. Lyster, Mr. T. R. J. Shanks, Ms S. M. Tyrell and The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor John Gormley who succeeded Councillor Mac Giolla in that office.
