Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Management Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings take place in my Department on a fortnightly basis and are attended by all members of MAC except when unavailable due to other commitments. One of my advisors attends all MAC meetings. Tables of attendance for the years requested by the Deputy follow. Non-MAC member officials of my Department may be asked to attend from time to time for specific agenda items. Ministerial MAC meetings happen periodically and I meet with individual members of the MAC on a weekly basis.
