Minister for Social Protection

Appointments to State Board positions, including those State Boards under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection, are managed directly by the State Boards Section at the Public Appointments Service (PAS).

In line with the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards (2015), all vacancies in State Boards under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection are published on the State Boards Portal www.stateboards.ie, operated by the PAS.

Any further queries on the State Boards appointment system should be addressed directly to the PAS.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

Question No. 1170 answered with Question No. 1112.
