Question 186: To ask the Taoiseach the members and functions of the Cabinet committee on social inclusion. [10579/07]
Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)
Link to this: Individually | In context
I chair the Cabinet Committee on Social Inclusion and the membership includes the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Ministers for:
Education and Science;
Enterprise, Trade and Employment;
Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs;
Finance;
the Environment, Heritage and Local Government;
Health and Children;
Social and Family Affairs; and Children.
and the Ministers of State with Special Responsibility for:
Housing and Urban Renewal;
Drugs Strategy and Community Affairs;
Equality Issues (including Disability Issues); and
Labour Affairs (including Training).
It is now well established practice that while it is in order to answer factually on the number of meetings held by a Cabinet Committee and its membership, more wide ranging questions which seek to ascertain the discussions at, decisions, work programme, role, function or progress of a Cabinet Committee are internal to the Cabinet process.
