Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister and that is certainly positive and is in keeping with his previous answer. Can we rely on the fact that the report will be on his desk before the end of the year? What contact has the Minister had with the Department of Deputy Catherine Martin? To save time I will not read out the full title of her Department. It was a recommendation of the task force on arts and culture recovery that it would be a pilot project on universal income.

Rather than duplication, can the Minister clarify what contact he or his Department has had on this?
