Following expiry of its five year term, a meeting of the outgoing members of the National Economic and Social Council was convened by the Secretary General of my Department on 17 November. The purpose was to seek views and suggestions on the future role and work programme of a Council.
I understand a good discussion took place on the work of the Council to date, views on the best working arrangements for the Council and its future work programme in a changing policy landscape. These are now a key part of considerations for the arrangements for a new Council.
