Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Appointment of Special Envoys: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence

The Minister spoke a little while ago about the cooling-off period. He has been in public office for 20 years and he clearly would be aware of the cooling-off period that applies to, in particular, people who have held ministerial posts. I am rather surprised that he was discussing an appointment within that 12-month period with a former Minister, who must surely have been aware of the situation as well. Does the Minister have anything more to say about that?
