The Board, which will oversee operation of Tipperary ETB between 2024 and 2029, includes nine members from the previous board term and 12 new members which have been elected since the local elections were held in June.

At the meeting, Fianna Fáil Cllr Roger Kennedy was elected Chairperson of the Board while Fine Gael Cllr Mary Hanna Hourigan was elected as vice-Chairperson. The Board is populated in line with the Education and Training Board Act 2013 and is reflective of all stakeholders with a total of 12 elected members nominated by Tipperary County Council – Michael Brennan, Phyll Bugler, Kay Cahill Skehan, Niall Dennehy, Pat English, Willie Kennedy, Máirín McGrath, Louise Morgan Walsh, John O’Heney, and Seán Ryan.

Other members include two parents nominated by the National Parents Council, Fiona Dunford and Declan Kinsella, two staff members through an election process, Siobhán Kennedy and Stephen O’Brien, and five nominees from specified bodies, Donal Kelly (Youthwork Ireland), Virginia O’Dowd (Rehab/ICTU), Josephine Chamney (IBEC), Cora Horgan Farrell (Down Syndrome Ireland), and Eddie Morrissey (JMB/ACCS/NAPD).

The Tipperary ETB Board oversees the organisation’s executive functions, as well as providing leadership for one of the county’s largest employers.
