Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I find this extraordinary. I sat where the Minister is sitting now on many occasions during the past five years and for her not have the details of how many times the Cabinet Sub-committee on Brexit has met is incredible. She does not need notes to know whether it met once, twice, three, four, five, six or seven times. I do not foresee it met on any more occasions than that. Similarly, surely she knows the number of times the co-ordination group in her Department has met. She still has not answered the question on Mr. Barnier and, in particular, she has not answered the question on the Irish appointee to the group in Brussels or the question on the role Sabine Weyand will have. The Minister might outline to the House answers to those questions and with a view to giving confidence to Members of the House that she knows the number of meetings that took place and the roles of the three individuals I mentioned.
