Written answers

Cabinet Committees are used to ensure a whole-of-Government, coordinated approach on issues, as necessary. They often allow for more in-depth examination of issues in advance of consideration by the full Cabinet. Cabinet Committee C assists Government in its ongoing consideration of Brexit, as well as other EU issues. It is also of use in the context of my participation as a member of the European Council.

Cabinet Committee C last met on 11 September and is scheduled to meet again in February.

In the intervening period, there has been regular discussion of issues relating to Brexit at full Cabinet meetings, including in the run-up to the December agreement between the EU and the UK, and at the all-day meeting in Cork last year.
