Section 6(4)(b) of the Act states that, ‘if the region served by the college includes all or part of the functional area of one or more than one vocational education committee other than the vocational education committee in whose functional area the college is situated, the Minister may direct that one or more, but not more than four in all, of the persons to whom paragraph (a) relates, shall be nominated to the vocational education committee by such of those other committees as the Minister may specify’. (Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, formerly County Wicklow VEC).

Section 6(4)(c) of the Act states that, ‘two persons, being members of the academic staff of the college, shall be elected by that staff in accordance with regulations made by the governing body’.

Such organisations shall be representative of industry, agriculture, commerce, the professions and other interests as appropriate to the activities of the college’. The Institute’s Academic Council recommended to the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board the relevant organisations to be represented, and these organisations submitted nominations to the Institute for appointment by the Minister for Education and Skills.
