This correspondence has raised an issue of significant concern in that the response of the Department seems to substantiate in particular the idea that high level civil servants would not have to declare gifts of as much as €2,500 in relation to travel, accommodation and meals. I note the Department had made specific reference to legislation by Deputies O'Rourke and Cullinane that would seek to address the issue. I suggest the most appropriate follow-up by this committee might be to refer it to the Joint Committee on Health.
