Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 205 to 207, inclusive, together.
In accordance with section 22 of the Sport Ireland Act 2015, the CEO is appointed by Sport Ireland, with Minister Martin's approval. Minister Martin is aware that the CEO’s contract is scheduled to expire on 30 September 2020. The Chairman and four other members are scheduled to complete their term on the Board on 30 September. I can confirm that Minister Martin has spoken with the Chair of Sport Ireland with regard to these Board positions, the CEO's contract, and one further Board member vacancy which arose in May and she will make a decision in the near future on these vacancies and those which arose earlier this year and have been the subject of a selection process conducted through the Public Appointments Service (PAS).
