Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 537 and 538 together.
I refer the Deputy to my response to parliamentary question 45478/14 of 26 November 2014 concerning meetings of my Department’s Management Advisory Committee. Since then there have been two further meetings which took place on 4th December and 16th December. I attended the Management Advisory Committee meetings on 15th July and 18th November. The special advisers also attended these meetings.
