Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet sub-committee on health has met on three occasions to date in 2012 - on Thursday, 2 February, Tuesday, 14 February, and Thursday, 8 March. The next meeting of the Cabinet sub-committee on social policy is scheduled for Thursday, 24 May. It has met three times since its establishment last year - on Thursday, 9 June, Wednesday, 21 September and Thursday, 24 November, 2011.

The Deputy will be aware that, in line with Cabinet confidentiality and long-standing precedent, I do not propose to talk about specific issues discussed at Cabinet committee meetings.
