Since my appointment as Minister, I have met with the vast majority of the agencies under the aegis of my Department and I will meet with the remaining ones over the coming months. In addition I met collectively with the Chairs and Chief Executives in Dublin Castle on 8 April 2011 at which I set out Government policy on a range of issues. In doing so, I set out my expectation that such policies are adhered to by all of the agencies.
