Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 June 2012
132 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will provide a list of all current commercial semi State company and non-commercial State agency board appointees; and their annual remuneration and competencies. [28939/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe current membership of the boards of statutory agencies and national cultural institutions funded from my Department's Vote and the annual fees payable to board members is set out in the following table. There are no commercial semi-State companies under the aegis of my Department. It may be noted that fees are not payable to board members that are also public servants and, in addition, that in certain other cases members have chosen to waive their fees.
It should also be noted that not all members have been appointed by way of ministerial appointment: some, for example, have been appointed by way of co-option arrangements, or have been elected, as in the case of the majority of Údarás na Gaeltachta members. Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency are North-South Implementation Bodies and board members in these instances are appointed by the North-South Ministerial Council.
Competencies of board appointees vary according to the body/institution involved and would reflect the particular requirements arising. If the Deputy requires more detailed information in this regard, she might wish to raise the matter with the individual body/institution in question.
