Education vacancies: No board at National Council for Special Education since last year

The National Council for Special Education has had no board since the previous 13-member board’s term ended at the end of last year.

The 13 vacancies, which are awaiting appointments by Education Minister Richard Bruton, are mostly based on nominees of various bodies, such as representatives of teachers, school managers, parents, and health services.

Two of the 12 ordinary board members must be selected from a shortlist of people who applied through the Public Appointments Service, one each to be nominated by Mr Bruton and Health Minister Simon Harris.
