As the Deputy will be aware, my Department in its current configuration was established in September 2020 following the General Election of that year. Details of appointments to State Boards of public bodies under the aegis of my Department, including numbers of members of those Boards, are published on the StateBoards.ie website. Further details in relation to the composition of Boards are also available on the websites of the bodies concerned.
Reference to remuneration for Chairpersons and members of Boards relates to the level of fee to which they are entitled and does not infer the fee was drawn down by individual members. Where public servants are appointed to Boards, under the One Person One Salary principal, no fees are payable. Details in relation to Board fees are also available within the respective annual reports of each organisation.
If the Deputy has a particular query in relation to the number of meetings held by an individual Board in a given year, or expenditure of a Board in a given year, my officials will be happy to assist.
