Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Returning to my earlier question, did the former Taoiseach make any appointments to State boards in the period from the announcement of to the date of his resignation? Did he consult the current Taoiseach — who was Taoiseach designate at the time — on his views regarding any such appointments?

I have not had the same opportunity as previous speakers to put questions to the Taoiseach. However, will he note my view that the relevant Oireachtas committees should be charged with scrutinising appointments to State boards?
