Riverdance creator Moya Doherty has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the RTÉ Board.
Minister for Communications Alex White got Government approval for the appointment of seven board members today.
The other ministerial nominees are Frank Hannigan, Deborah Kelleher, PJ Matthews and Anne O'Leary.
Aengus Mac Grianna is the elected staff representative, while Fergus Armstrong was reappointed.
RTÉ Director-General Noel Curran is also a member of the board.
The Oireachtas Communications Committee nominated Padraig O'Ceidigh, Margaret E Ward, Shane Naughton and Fionnuala Sheehan to serve on the board last month.
Ms Doherty said: "The next few years will see RTÉ having to find structures capable of redefining the role of public service broadcasting in a media space transformed by social and digital technologies.
"I am looking forward to the challenge and privilege of working alongside all who are part of the RTÉ community, internal and external, to help to carve a strong identity for the future for the public service broadcaster."
