Over the past fortnight I have been in informal contact with the members of the Working Group. In this context, I have discussed the broad area of Dáil Reform and asked the members to assess where real progress could be made within the shortest possible timeframe. An inaugural meeting of the Group is planned for the coming weeks. I anticipate that the details requested by the Deputy will be finalised at that meeting. Those details will be made available in future responses and correspondence when available.
