Ceist:30 Mr. Quinn asked the Taoiseach if he will outline his recent meetings with the Irish EU Commissioner; the future meetings, if any, he has planned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2576/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 29 and 30 together.
The meeting I had with Commissioner, Mr. Padraig Flynn, was routine. The Deputy, as a former Taoiseach, will be aware that the Commissioner calls on Taoisigh as a matter of courtesy on a regular basis and briefs them on European affairs in general and matters of importance to Ireland in particular.
