Ceist:

641. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department held meetings separate to the management advisory committee meetings which were attended by either him or the Minister of State and the management advisory committee; if so, if he will provide, in tabular form, the number of such meetings that occurred in 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Neither I nor my Ministerial colleagues within the Department held any separate meetings with the Management Board, as a whole, outside of the monthly Ministerial Management Board meetings.   

We would of course on a day-to-day basis have various formal and informal meetings involving one or more members of the Management Board on issues across the range of their responsibilities and it would be impossible to produce a statistical summary of these.
