Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
1360. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the dates of all the meetings of Comhairle na Tuaithe that were held since March 2011; the number of those attended by the relevant Minister or Minister of State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15562/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraTable 1 below provides details of the dates of meetings of Comhairle na Tuaithe which were held since March 2011.
I can confirm that the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government attended the meeting of Comhairle on 9th December 2013.
I attended the meeting of the Comhairle members on 13th February this year.
As the Deputy is aware, my Department currently provides the Chair and secretariat support for Comhairle Na Tuaithe. A Principal Officer within my Department chairs the meetings at which the group discusses matters relating the implementation of the priorities as set out in the National Countryside Recreation Strategy, rural recreation, activity tourism and other related issues of interest as they arise.
I expect that a further meeting of Comhairle na Tuaithe will be convened in the coming weeks.
