Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I propose to take questions Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet committee on Brexit and Northern Ireland was established by Government on 6 July 2020 and had his first meeting on 29 October 2020. The Cabinet committee last met on 4 March 2021 and was scheduled to meet again on Monday, 29 November, but had to be postponed due to the need for a meeting on Covid-19. A revised date has yet to be confirmed. It should be noted that relevant issues arising on Brexit and Northern Ireland are regularly considered at meetings of the full Cabinet. This week’s Cabinet consider two comprehensive memos on North-South co-operation and on the shared island initiative. The Cabinet committee on Europe which last met on 14 October also discussed related matters. In addition to the meetings at the full Cabinet and of Cabinet committees, I also meet with Ministers on an individual basis to focus on particular issues where required.
