I propose to take Questions Nos. 17 and 18 together.

Cabinet Committee G (Justice and Equality) last met on 10 June 2019 and Cabinet Committee F (National Security) last met on 1April 2019.

Since then a new Cabinet Committee on Security has been established which deals with issues relating to justice, defence, Garda reform and national security.

This Cabinet Committee was scheduled to meet on Thursday, 10th of October but the meeting was postponed as I travelled to England on that day to meet with the British Prime Minister. A meeting of the Cabinet Committee will be rescheduled in the near future
