Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1433. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a list of the 28 organisations he met, as outlined in a recent response to a parliamentary question (details supplied); if he will also list the 58 organisations mentioned that requested meetings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31213/15]
View answerOwing to the scope of my remit as Minister, I receive representations, including requests for meetings, from a wide range of parties, such as public representatives, local and voluntary groups and private individuals and organisations. In response to Question No. 219 of 2 July, I set out, to the extent that it was possible to collate such information, that I had received 56 meeting requests from such groups and that 28 meetings took place.
The following table provides a list of the organisations that requested meetings with me and identifies the meetings that took place.
