Even though we had to wait until this late in the day - one week since the budget was introduced - it is still very important that we get to discuss all the measures because there was so much detail to take in on Tuesday, 11 October, and many different measures that affect different Departments.

Martin Heydon: To the best of my knowledge, neither the Minister nor the Minister of State has an issue with attending meetings of the committee. As noted by Senator Hopkins, they have attended before and will do so again. That is fine, but it is a matter of finding an appropriate time. As also noted by Senator Hopkins, I do not expect the Minister to miss a Cabinet meeting to attend an Oireachtas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Business of Joint Committee (25 Oct 2016)

Martin Heydon: I do not accept that it was actually agreed that that would be the exact title. I think it was agreed to have this discussion.

To clarify a matter for Senator Ó Clochartaigh, we have provided for 115 extra...
