Ministerial Appointments
10:30 am
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 and 2 together.
The information requested by the Deputy relating to appointments made by me to State boards and agencies since May 2008 is contained in a schedule that I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
In respect of the National Economic and Social Development Office, on 1 April 2010 an order was made under section 34 of the National Economic and Social Development Office Act 2006, which dissolved the National Economic and Social Forum and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance. These bodies have now been absorbed into the National Economic and Social Council.
