In relation to appointments during the period 1 January 2016 to date, I temporarily extended the term of office of the members of the Irish Manuscripts Commission on 28 February 2016, pending the appointment of a new Commission in due course. In addition, following a process carried out by the Public Appointments Service through www.stateboards.ie, I appointed a number of persons in October 2015 to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The terms of office of 5 of the appointees began on dates in January and February of this year in line with the vacancies arising.
For the purpose of completeness, I should also mention that new boards were appointed, with effect from 13 December 2015, for Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency, which are agencies of the North/South Implementation Body, An Foras Teanga. These appointments were made by the North South Ministerial Council arising from nominations on a 50:50 basis.
