Answer
OFMDFM does not currently set public appointment targets for people under 30 or for women.
Data on appointments of people under 30 and women are collected and published annually by OFMDFM in the Public Bodies and Public Appointments Annual Report. The former Commissioner for Public Appointments made a recommendation in his 2014 diversity report that work should begin on establishing diversity targets. This recommendation is currently under consideration.
