View answerI met Mr. Danny McCoy of IBEC on 19 October 2011 and 31 October 2012 to discuss pre-budget issues. I have attended a number of conferences hosted by IBEC, including the Property Industry Ireland Conference and others, where I would have met representatives of IBEC including Mr. McCoy. In addition, officials from my Department have met representatives of IBEC on a number of matters. My Department analyses the publications and reports of IBEC to consider their analysis and recommendations in the context of the preparation of Government policies.
