I can advise the Deputy that since its establishment in 2018, a serving public servant was appointed to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman Council (FSPOC). The One Person One Salary rule was applied in respect of the FSPOC member during this period. That member continued in the role of FSPOC member following their retirement from a State Agency in 2020.

Following a Public Appointments Service recruitment process in 2015, a retired civil servant was appointed as a member of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council.

One member appointed to the Board of the National Asset Management Agency Board in 2018 was previously a public servant, having formerly worked as a full time Board member of An Bord Pleanála from 1999 to 2006.

In respect of the National Treasury Management Agency Board members appointed following a Public Appointments Service process, one such member is a retired university professor, appointed in 2019.
