On one occasion an official of my Department attended a meeting with the Fianna Fail Parliamentary Party. The meeting took place in November 2005. I requested the official in question to attend the meeting with me in order to provide clarification on technical aspects of my Department's report on the groceries order. No departmental record was kept of this meeting.
