The names of appointees to the boards of State bodies operating under the aegis of my Department from 16 December 1994 to date are contained in the tables. Appointments to such boards are made having regard to general suitability, professional experience and competence. I do not have total discretion over appointments. Some appointments are required to be made on the basis of nominations from farming and other relevant organisations, and others by way of election by the body concerned.
Since June 2002, the Boards of Bord na gCon and Horse Racing Ireland come under the aegis of the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. Details in regard to those organisations will be provided directly to the Deputy.
