Vol. 554 No. 5

Written Answers. - Ministerial Appointments.

Bernard Allen

Ceist:

377 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the solicitors or barristers who were appointed since July 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 these persons are a solicitor or barrister; the position to which these persons were appointed; the date of appointment; the date these persons ceased to hold the position if applicable; the remuneration paid since July 1997; and if the holding of particular legal qualifications or experience was a requirement for the position in question. [17249/02]

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.
