All appointments to the State Bodies falling under my remit are made both in accordance with the Code of Governance for State Bodies and the relevant parent legislation governing each of the State Bodies. All relevant vacancies are advertised on the State Boards website administered by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). Some positions, such as a workers' representative, are reserved for a representative of a stakeholder group and these would not be advertised or processed through PAS.
The list of board members for each board is available on the Stateboards.ie website and is updated by my Department on a monthly basis:
