Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the appointment of a Commissioner for Public Appointments.

Answer:

A public appointment competition was launched in 2021 for the role of Commissioner for Public Appointments for Northern Ireland, although an appointment decision was not reached prior to the end of the last mandate. We have agreed that a new competition is required.

Preparations are currently underway to launch the appointment process.
