Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2047. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the meetings, briefings or lobbying he or his departmental officials have had with representatives either in an official or unofficial capacity of a company (details supplied) since 2013. [33266/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraTo date neither I nor my officials have had meetings, briefings or engaged in lobbying with the company in question. My officials have occasionally met a representative of the company (who is also a member of the Board of SEAI which comes under the ambit of my Department) on an informal basis as part of routine engagement with energy sector stakeholders. Recently a formal request to meet officials was received, however no arrangements have yet been made. Such interactions are characteristic of on-going engagement by my Department with energy sector stakeholders.
