View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 108 and 109 together.
The details in respect of each meeting of my Department's Management Advisory Committee (MAC) in 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014 were given in the written question number 132 on 2nd December 2014.
In addition to these meetings of the Management Advisory Committee, there are frequent meetings in many different formats attended by me, Ministers of State in my Department, political advisors and members of the MAC on an ongoing basis. These meetings include Cabinet Committees, the Economic Management Council and briefings on matters related to the work of my Department.
