Amharc ar fhreagraI make appointments to the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and the National Statistics Board (NSB). Since the start of 2015 I have made one appointment to the NESC and no appointments to the NSB.
Ms. Patricia King, General Secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, was appointed to the NESC in March 2015. Her appointment was made following nomination by the ICTU in accordance with the National Economic and Social Development Office Act 2006 and S.I.
