Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I propose to take Questions Nos. 5 and 6 together.

The Government has established ten Cabinet committees, on the following topics: housing; health; social policy and public service reform; justice reform; European affairs; regional and rural affairs; economy, trade and jobs; infrastructure, environment and climate action; arts, Irish and the Gaeltacht and the Islands; and Brexit.

A total of 20 Cabinet committee meetings have been held since the beginning of September. The Cabinet committees on housing and Brexit have met four times each; the committee on economy, trade and jobs three times; the committees on health, social policy and public service reform and regional and rural affairs twice each; and the Committees on European affairs, infrastructure, environment and climate action and arts, Irish and the Gaeltacht and the Islands once each.

Currently eight Cabinet committee meetings are scheduled between now and the end of the year.
