View answerThe Taoiseach makes appointments to the National Economic and Social Council and the National Statistics Board. Over the past ten years no civil servant, at Principal Officer level or above, was appointed to either body following their retirement from this Department. Please note that one civil servant from this Department was appointed to the National Economic and Social Council and served out the remainder of their term following their retirement. The current chair of the National Statistics Board was appointed following their retirement from a senior position in another Government Department.
