585 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of interdepartmental committees on which officials of her Department are members; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30870/03]
Due to the broad range of my Department's responsibilities in delivering social welfare and related services to citizens, a range of officials is serving on a variety of committees of an interdepartmental nature at any one time. Officials of my Department are members of some 80 such interdepartmental committees at present.
