The information requested on the appointments made to State Boards including name and date of appointment and method of appointment is included in the table below.

Two Boards under the aegis of my Department currently have vacancies, the Higher Education Authority has nine vacancies and the National Council for Special Education has 13 vacancies - these vacancies are in the process of being filled via the Public Appointments Services.

In line with the new guidelines for Appointments to State Boards, which can be viewed on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's website www.per.gov.ie, the process for filling vacancies on State Boards under the aegis of the Department, is now normally managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS), whereby applications are made through the dedicated website www.Stateboards.ie. An assessment process is undertaken by PAS leading to the creating of a list of candidates deemed suitable for appointments to Boards.
