Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

I wish to advise the Deputy that for the past two years I have, on the Department’s website, invited Expressions of Interest from persons wishing to be considered for appointment to vacancies on State Boards under the aegis of my Department. In both years, this information has been used to inform decisions for appointments to State Boards.

I will shortly be advertising on the website for persons interested in such appointments during 2013.
