I established Cabinet Committee C to cover issues relating to the European Union. It assists Government in its ongoing consideration of Brexit and will also support my participation as a member of the European Council.
Preparing for and dealing with Brexit in a way that delivers the best possible outcome for the country remains a top priority for the Government. Its potential consequences cut across very many areas of our national and economic life, and it is being dealt with in a whole-of-Government way, including through Cabinet Committee C. There has been regular discussion by the Government, including at the recent all-day meeting in Cork and in the run-up to the recent agreement between the EU and the UK.
Cabinet Committee C last met on 11 September. The date of the next meeting has not yet been confirmed.
