That is fine. There are a number of Cabinet committees, including those dealing with economic management, economic recovery, economic infrastructure, European affairs, health, mortgage arrears, public sector reform, social policy, climate change, Irish and the Gaeltacht, and children's rights. Does the Taoiseach attend all of those or who chairs such committees? Will Mr. Fraser provide a flavour of how those committees work and how often they meet? Does that occur on a quarterly basis? Who attends the meetings and what officials are there in addition to Ministers? Who chairs the meetings if the Taoiseach is absent? Do they involve line Ministers? I presume Ministers would chair meetings on those topics in their own line Departments in any event.
