I assume that the Deputy is referring to the Cabinet Committee on Irish and the Gaeltacht. I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 28 and 110 of 22 June 2011, which set out that the Committee was re-established on 14 April 2011 under the chairmanship of the Taoiseach. The membership comprises the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht; myself, as Minister of State at that Department; the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform; the Minister for Education and Skills; the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources; and the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. The Committee has met twice since its re-establishment, comprising the available Ministers as above and with senior officials to support them in their work.
