404. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if his Department held meetings separate to the management advisory committee meetings which were attended by either him or the Minister of State and the management advisory committee; if so, if he will provide, in tabular form, the number of such meetings that occurred in 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47858/14]
View answerI took up the position of Minister for Children and Youth Affairs in July of this year, and since then I have attended the following meetings involving the Management Advisory Committee (MAC):
|
Date of Meeting |
Attendees |
|
18th July 2014 |
Minister/MAC meeting: attendees comprising the Minister, Advisors and MAC members |
|
24th July 2014 |
"Town Hall" meeting (Whole Staff Meeting) |
|
10th December 2014 |
Minister/MAC meeting: attendees comprising the Minister, Advisors and MAC members |
These meetings are distinct from those dedicated meetings of the Management Advisory Committee. In respect of my predecessors, two Minister/MAC meetings took place in 2011; six Minister/MAC meetings took place in 2012; five Minister/MAC meetings took place in 2013; and two Minister/MAC meetings took place in 2014.
