I make appointments to the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and National Statistics Board (NSB) in accordance with the relevant legislation. I have delegated authority to make appointments to the NSB to the Minister of State at my Department and Government Chip Whip, Regina Doherty T.D.

The terms of both these bodies have expired. The process of appointing/reappointing members to the NSB is currently underway and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Consideration as to the best arrangements for any future Council is ongoing.
