Owing to the scope of my remit as Minister, I receive representations, including requests for meetings, from a wide range of parties, such as public representatives, local and voluntary groups and private individuals and organisations . In that context I received a request to meet with Mr Dan Quayle , former Vice-President of the United States and Chairman of Cerberus Capital Management. The meeting , which lasted less than 15 minutes, was held in my office in the Custom House on 25 September 2014. In addition to Mr Quayle and myself , a representative of Cerberus , a representative of Greenstar and my Special Advisor Mr Jim McGrath attended. As this was a courtesy call by Mr Quayle following Cerberus’s acquisition of Greenstar , no minutes were taken. The meeting involved an exchange of pleasantries and the only item discussed was a general exchange on waste management.
