Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Appointment of Special Envoys: Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Martin Fraser:

When I said "traditional", I did not say "traditional attitude", or, if I did, I did not mean to. I was talking about the traditional process. I mean an administrative process. We have paper agendas, paper memorandums and paper decisions. We keep minutes. Records of minutes are approved by Cabinet the following week. That is what I meant by a traditional process. It is a reliable process that means everybody is crystal clear on what the Government has decided.

I did not mean a traditional attitude in that sense. Sorry.
