To date, the NIMC Steering Committee has met on 11 December 2020, 15 January 2021 and 12 February 2021, with meetings scheduled to take place every month.

In March, the NIMC met over two (half) days on 11 and 12 March 2021. These meetings were set up for the NIMC to examine, in some detail, its role and function, and were not usual business meetings. The NIMC did not review the minutes of the February meeting at this time-this will be done at the meeting scheduled in April.

The next business meeting of the NIMC Steering Committee is scheduled for 9 April 2021.

Minutes of meetings are usually submitted for approval at the next subsequent meeting (with the above detailed exception) and then they are published. The December and January minutes have been published on the Department's website and it is envisaged that the February minutes will be published after the April meeting.
