Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

In response to the Deputy's question all details regarding meetings of the Management Advisory Council in my Department since 2011 are currently available on our website at: www.per.gov.ie.  Both Mr. Ronan O'Brien, my Special Adviser, and I have been present at meetings, on occasion. The Agenda and minutes taken at each meeting are also available on our Website which include those that attended.

The Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works, has never attended the Management Advisory Council.
