Amharc ar fhreagra51. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Taoiseach the Cabinet committee which has responsibility for education. [29058/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 50 and 51 together.
The Cabinet Committee on Social Policy and Public Service Reform provides the basis for cross-Departmental co-ordination in delivery of Programme for Government commitments in areas of social policy and social inclusion, including commitments in the area of education.
As I have stated previously in the House, my intention is to reconfigure the Cabinet sub-committees with the aim of making them more focused. I will of course inform the House of my decision in due course.
