I propose to take Questions Nos. 287 and 288 together.
I assume that the Questions relate to appointments made to State boards currently under the aegis of my Department.
A number of different statutory processes are involved in appointments to State boards. In some cases statutory selection procedures must be followed or nominations must be sought from independent nominating panels before appointments are made by the Government or by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. In other cases only particular public office holders may be appointed to certain boards. In a number of situations, only some appointments to the body concerned are made by the Minister.
In the context of the above, numbers of appointments to State boards under the aegis of my Department in the first six months of 2002 and in the past two months are set out in the following table:
|
Name of State board |
Appointments to board in the period 1 January 2002 to 30 June 2002 |
Appointments to board in the period 8 January 2007 to 8 March 2007 |
