In 2007, my Department established Comhairle na Tuaithe Expert Group to examine legal issues surrounding rural recreation and access to land. This group reported to my Department in May 2007.

A Steering Group for the development of a new National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016 was set up late in 2007 and the first meeting took place on 10 January last. This Group is chaired by my Department and it comprises representatives of Departments, agencies and the community & voluntary sectors. It will make recommendations on a new National Drugs Strategy to me in the latter part of the year.

I can confirm to the Deputy that no body, organisation or committee has been established by my Department to date in 2008.
