Minister for Equality and Law Reform (Mr. Taylor)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 417 and 421 together. On 10 November, 1992 the then Minister for Labour appointed a new board to the Employment Equality Agency. Details of the 11 persons appointed to the board are as follows:

Chairperson: Ms. Kate Hayes; Employers' Members (Nominated by FIE): Mr. John Doherty, Ms. Marie Moynihan; Workers' Members (Nominated by ICTU): Ms. Noirin Greene, Ms. Margaret Nolan; Nominees of the Council for the Status of Women: Ms. Carmel Foley, Ms. Kathleen O'Sullivan, Ms. Anne Taylor; Other Appointees: Mr. Paul Cullen, Mrs. Lenore Mrkwicka, Ms. Miriam O'Callaghan.

Mr. John Doherty, above, was appointed as Vice-Chairperson on 9 December, 1992.

I understand that no appointments were made to the Legal Aid Board during the months in question.
