Written answers

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Eamon Ryan)

No officials from my Department attended the 4th Annual Irish Public Private Partnership Policy Forum.

Attendance at events, by staff of bodies operating under the aegis of my Department, is a day to day operational matter for those bodies in which I have no function.
