66. To ask the Taoiseach the items he has sought to have included on the agenda of the next meeting of the European Council meeting of the EU Heads of State or Government. [8528/17]

The next European Council meeting will take place on the 9/10 March.

The draft agenda, published by the General Secretariat of the Council, envisages that the Maltese Presidency will provide an overview of progress on the implementation of earlier European Council conclusions, and that the European Council will then look at a number of the most pressing issues, including in relation to Jobs, Growth and Competitiveness; Security and Defence; Migration; and External Relations.

This draft agenda is in order from Ireland's perspective and I have therefore not sought any particular items for inclusion on it for this meeting.
