Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 June 2018
221. Deputy Mary Butler asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the selection process and criteria employed to make appointments to the board of the DAA; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27172/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe selection process for new appointments to the board of daa is set out in the published Information Booklet for each appointment and these Booklets are available on the dedicated website of the Public Appointments Service, www.stateboards.ie. In line with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Sponsored Bodied, the criteria for appointments in each case are agreed between my Department and the Public Appointments Service, following consultation with the daa, and are published in the Information Booklets.
In addition, I approved new internal principles and procedures within my Department which work to complement the Public Appointments Service process and allow for appointments to be made with greater confidence in the ability of the selected person to contribute effectively to a State Board, including the board of daa. These principles and procedures are available to view on my Department’s website through this link.
