I propose to take Questions Nos. 188 and 206 together.

Since my appointment as Minister for Finance, I have engaged fully with all members of the senior management of the Department, who comprise its Management Advisory Committee, on a very regular basis and as the need arises on a wide range of strategic and policy issues.

I am satisfied that these arrangements are working well but, as with all matters in my Department, they are kept under ongoing review to ensure their appropriateness and effectiveness in dealing with emerging developments.
