There were 36 meetings of the Moore Street Advisory Group (MSAG) to the Minister in its various iterations over the last five years. Secretariat to the group was provided by my Department and other officials attended meetings as necessary from time to time to give updates to the MSAG. Dublin City Council and the Moore Street Traders were represented on this group. The minutes of these meetings, including attendance can be found at www.gov.ie/en/collection/70068-moore-street-advisory-group/

Hammerson representatives met with officials on one occasion to present their plans. As the minutes of this meeting contain commercially sensitive information, so they have not been published. In addition, two site visits took place with representatives of Hammerson and the Department in attendance.

Any Ministerial meetings with any of the groups would have been attended by Departmental officials. Ministerial diaries are published on my Department's website at www.gov.ie/en/collection/5f6f1-ministers-diaries/

There were no meetings between officials of my Department and Dublin City Council or the Moore Street Traders.
