Coveney Announces Appointments to the Veterinary Council of Ireland
The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney TD has today announced the appointment of two members to the Veterinary Council of Ireland.
The persons appointed are:
- John O’Rourke
- Sinéad Boyle
Welcoming the newly appointed members, the Minister said, “the overall balance in membership of the Council will enable it to carry out its statutory functions effectively in a way that will continue to enjoy public confidence. I wish the new members of the Council every success during their term of office.”
Notes for the Editor
The two appointed members were selected under the new arrangements involving an open advertisement and assessment system by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). PAS, established under statute in 2004, provides an independent shared service in recruitment, assessment and selection to organizations across the Civil and Public Services. On 30 September 2014, the Government decided that PAS should also be given responsibility for putting in place an open, accessible, rigorous and transparent system to support Ministers in making appointments to State Boards.
