Six people have been appointed to the board of the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), allowing it to resume functioning.
Virginija Petrauskaite, a solicitor with the Irish Refugee Council, has joined the board alongside George Maybury, Stephen Driver, Sinead Gogan, Barry O’Brien and Brendan McGinty.
The WRC board has been unable to take decisions since September 2021, when the terms of seven members ended and left the board without the required quorum.
Damien English, minister of state at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, said: “I want to welcome the new members of the WRC Board and wish them the very best of luck as they take on this new challenge.
“I’m confident their considerable experience and expertise will contribute enormously to the important work of the WRC and the vital role it plays in Irish society and for the economy in general.”
There is still one vacancy on the board, which the Department said would be filled shortly.
