I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 8 together.

The Cabinet committee on the economy and investment was established in January 2023. The first meeting was scheduled for 16 February, but was subsequently postponed. The meeting has not yet been rescheduled. Membership of the committee is comprised of the Taoiseach; the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and for Defence; the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications and for Transport; the Minister for Finance; the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform; the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment; and the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Other Ministers or Ministers of State will be invited to participate as required.

The Cabinet committee on the economy and investment is responsible for issues relating to the economy and investment. It will oversee the implementation of programme for Government commitments aimed at sustainable economic recovery, investment and job creation, including implementation of the national digital strategy, entitled Harnessing Digital - The Digital Ireland Framework. The committee is chaired by the Tánaiste. As with all policy areas, economic issues are regularly discussed at full Government meetings, where all formal decisions are made.
