Note 1: Derogation from the Guidelines for Appointments to State Boards was granted by the previous Government in accordance with Section 9.3 of those Guidelines to enable the appointment of the CEO to the board. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine with the consent of Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform subsequently appointed the CEO to the board.
Note 2: INS Directors are replaced/reappointed on a rotational basis and remain in situ until replaced/reappointed. In relation to the October 2017 appointments, it was agreed by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform that three directors and the chairman would be reappointed pending a review of the Articles of Association of the INS which deal with the rotation of Directors.
Note 3: These INS Directors appointments were made under the new Articles of Association of the INS and without recourse to PAS as an exceptional case to bring the terms of members in line with the Code of Practise for the Governance of State Bodies.
