Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (9 Jul 2019)

Micheál Martin: I do not think the Taoiseach quite answered the question. Did he mention the number of times Cabinet committee C met in his reply? I think he said the committee met on 21 June but the question I asked was how many times did it meet in 2019. The Taoiseach might answer that in his response to my points because it is important.
