On 17 March 2005 my predecessor Minister Séamus Brennan met the Estonian Minister for Social Affairs, Mr Marko Pomerants, in Tallinn. On 6th April 2005 Minister Brennan met Assistant Minister Zdenka Ninic, of the Croatian Ministry of Family, Veteran's Affairs and Intergenerational Solidarity on the occasion of a conference on family matters in Dublin. No meetings have taken place since between Minister Brennan or myself as Minister for Social and Family Affairs and a Head of State, Minister or Government representative from a non-OECD country.
