Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2004
185 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Transport the composition of the management advisory committee of his Department; the number of times it has met since its formation; the number of times he has attended it in person; and the issues it has considered. [14984/04]
View answerThe management board of the Department comprises the Secretary General and assistant secretaries of my Department, with the Department's policy analyst and the private secretary to the Secretary General also in attendance. The management board generally meets on a weekly basis, with discussion on progress on the Department's strategic policy and strategic management agenda taking place at these meetings. Occasionally other members of staff attend if their particular area of responsibility is being discussed. I attended the first meeting in 2002 and now meet with the management board on an approximately monthly basis to review progress on implementing the Department's statement of strategy.
