The Minister for Finance is now seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified people for appointment to the Credit Union Restructuring Board (the ReBo).

A core recommendation of the Commission on Credit Unions is that the credit union sector in Ireland should be restructured to enable stronger credit unions to develop a more sustainable business model into the future. The ReBo is being established to facilitate and support this process which is to be completed on a voluntary, incentivised and timebound
basis.

The role of the ReBo will be to:
- Plan for the restructuring of the credit union sector,
- Engage with and assist credit unions in the preparation of restructuring
plans
- Consider and decide on restructuring plans submitted to it by or on
behalf of credit unions
- Oversee the implementation of restructuring plans, including the
provision of post-restructuring support
- Oversee the operational functions of the ReBo.
The ReBo shall comprise representatives from the credit union sector, the Central Bank of Ireland, the Department of Finance and a number of independent members. The ReBo shall remain in place until 31 December 2015.

In order to be eligible a person must have expertise and experience at a senior level in one or more of the following areas:

Those expressing an interest in this role should also be able to demonstrate a balanced set of skills, combining financial and business expertise, good business vision with the ability to work within tight deadlines as well as having excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

The closing date for expressions of interest is 5.00pm on 8 June 2012. Expressions of interest should be emailed to Michael.quinlan@finance.gov.ie, enclosing a CV and details of any actual or potential conflicts of interest. In considering expressions of interest
due regard will be given to Government policy on gender balance on State boards.
