The Minister for Transport, Martin Cullen, has appointed Tom Mulcahy as the new chairman of the Railway Procurement Agency.
Mulcahy, who is a former chairman of Aer Lingus and a former chief executive of AIB, takes over from Padraic White.
White has served as chairman of the Railway Procurement Agency since its inception in 2001 and his five-year term of office has concluded.
Mulcahy will also be the chairman designate of the new Dublin Transport Authority. This means that he will be responsible for putting in place the necessary organisational arrangements for the new authority.
