64 Mr. Gogarty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the interdepartmental committees her Department is engaged in with regard to energy policy issues here; the number of times such a committee meets; and the membership and reports that are expected to be published as a result of this work. [18123/04]
View answerThe Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is represented on the cross-departmental team that has been established under the Cabinet sub-committee on housing, infrastructure and public private partnerships, which considers energy policy issues, among other items. The team, which is chaired by the Department of the Taoiseach, meets on an ad hoc basis to prepare for Cabinet consideration of major policy issues. Publication of the results of the team’s work programme is a matter for sponsoring Departments when the deliberation on the topic in question has been completed.
