Ms Bríd Ní Chonghaile:

As Ms Nic Aongusa said, we have met most of the Departments and we have provided them with feedback from our consultation process and especially our visits to the islands. As part of those meetings, we discussed the comprehensive list of issues that were raised. In some cases, they could provide responses at the meeting and in other cases we asked them to reflect more on what further actions they can take in the context of putting together an action plan with specific actions and timelines. Even though we have held most of the bilateral meetings, in some cases we will need to have further meetings with specific Departments that have a larger remit relating to the islands. This will be discussed in our next interdepartmental committee meeting in November.
