I propose to take Questions Nos. 111 and 112 together.
There are currently no vacancies on the National Statistics Board (NSB) or the National Economic and Social Council (NESC). The term in office of the NSB is due to end in October. The Statistics Act 1993 sets out the composition and membership of the National Statistics Board (NSB).
The NSB comprises a Chairperson and seven Board members - five persons of proven ability and experience in relevant fields, an Assistant Secretary or equivalent or higher grade in the Department of the Taoiseach, an Assistant Secretary or equivalent or higher grade in the Department of Finance, and the Director General of the CSO, ex officio.
There are no vacancies anticipated in the National Economic and Social Council in the next six months.
