View answerThe vacancies for the appointment of a chairperson, deputy chairperson and five ordinary members to the board of the Adoption Authority of Ireland were advertised by the Public Appointments Service/StateBoards on 15 July 2025 and the closing date for receipt of applications was 28 August 2025. The Public Appointments Service/State Boards has now completed its shortlisting process and submitted recommendations to the department for consideration. I expect to be finalising appointments to the board of the Adoption Authority of Ireland in the coming week.
