Máire Geoghegan-Quinn Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications (Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn) Fianna Fáil
The position regarding female representation on the boards of agencies and companies under my control at the end of 1991 was as follows: Aer Lingus, 2; Aer Rianta, 0; An Post, 1; Bord Fáilte, 2; Bord Telecom, 2; CIE, 0; Independent Radio and Television Commission, 2; RTE, 3.
Since that time I have had the opportunity to appoint the seven members of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission and three of these appointees are women.
