Under the Irish Film Board Acts 1980-2011, I appoint the members of the Board with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The Board consists of six members and a Chair.  The current Board was appointed in March 2017 following the advertisement of the board positions on the dedicated website www.stateboards.ie where applicants with a range of skillsets were invited to apply. These applications were then considered by the Public Appointment Service before a short list was presented to me.

The terms of three of the serving members of the board will expire in March 2020, in advance of which the positions will be advertised on the stateboards.ie website.  It will be up to any person with the relevant skillsets to apply for positions when they arise at that time.
