Minister for Education and Skills

Arrangements to establish the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board are being pursued and I intend to appoint the members to the Board shortly. The position of Chief Executive Officer (Designate) was recently advertised by the Public Appointments Service and I look forward to the early appointment of a suitably qualified individual, whose responsibilities will include driving the various elements of the establishment process.
