Vol. 551 No. 2

Written Answers. - Departmental Appointments.

Ruairí Quinn

Ceist:

185 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the solicitors or barristers who were appointed since 26 June 1997, as members or chairpersons of any board or committee or other body, advisers, consultants, or as holders of any other position or office other than judicial office, under the aegis of or in his Department; the name of the person in each case; if he or she is a solicitor or barrister; the position to which the person was appointed; the date of appointment; the date the person ceased to hold the position if applicable; the remuneration paid since 26 July 1997; and if the holding of particular legal qualifications or experience was a requirement for the position in question. [9796/02]

Mr. Oliver Randall Plunkett, a solicitor, was appointed head of the legal services division in this Department from 3 September 2001. His remuneration is that of a principal officer. The holding of particular legal qualifications or experience was a requirement for the position in question, which was filled by open competition, conducted by the Civil Service Commission. The holding of a particular legal qualification or experience is not a requirement for appointments to the various boards under the aegis of my Department and I have made no such appointment on this basis.
