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:
I will answer that in two ways. The Cabinet Handbook and the material that Ministers are given when they take office at the first Cabinet meeting of every Government contain all the process and procedure. Then, of course, I speak to Ministers from time to time. They might have questions for me about process or procedure, and I might have advice about how a thing works. People understand what the process and procedures are. They are not terribly complicated, to be fair.
