Since I was appointed Minister on the 27th June, I have had a number of meetings with my Ministerial colleagues, agencies and bodies under the remit of my Department, and NGOs, which have been detailed in a table below.
I have also engaged in a large number of meetings with my officials in the Department of Children & Youth Affairs, as well as meetings with the Minister of State for Disability Issues, who will transfer to my Department once the reconfiguration is complete.
