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

I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 to 19, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet committee on economic recovery and investment first met on 8 July 2020. It has met a total of 17 times, most recently on 13 December. The next meeting is scheduled for this Thursday. Membership of the committee comprises the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Ministers for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Transport, Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform and Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Other Ministers or Ministers of State attend when required.

The Cabinet committee on economic recovery and investment is responsible for issues relating to the economy and investment. Its initial focus was developing the July jobs stimulus and it has since overseen the development of the Government's economic recovery plan, as well as the review of the national development plan, NDP. It has also overseen the development of the Government's new national digital strategy. Issues relating to the economy are, of course, regularly discussed at full Cabinet meetings, where all formal decisions are made.
