NESDO
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) was established by the National Economic and Social Development Office Act, 2006. The functions of NESDO are to advise the Taoiseach on all strategic matters relevant to the economic and social development of the State.
The advisory functions of NESDO are devolved to any bodies that the Government establishes under its aegis, while NESDO retains a small administrative staff that provides shared administrative services to any such bodies. NESDO recently underwent significant organisational restructuring, whereby two of the bodies operating under its aegis, namely NESF and NCPP, were dissolved with effect from 1 April 2010. NESDO continues to provide administration and support services for the NESC. It submits to Government all reports, recommendations and conclusions arising from any projects carried out by the NESC, and arranges for the publication of reports.
NESDO publishes an annual report detailing its activities and furnishing its audited Financial Statement. For further information, please contact Mr. Brendan Ward, Head of Administration, NESDO.
