The Government has established Cabinet Committees across a range of policy areas:

•Economy, Trade and Competitiveness,

•Housing,

•Infrastructure,

•Climate Action and Energy,

•Disability,

•Health,

•EU and International Affairs,

•Justice, Migration and Social Affairs,

•Water Quality,

•Northern Ireland, and

•Children and Education.

Issues relating to rural affairs and community development can be discussed, as required, at any of these Cabinet Committees given their relevance to multiple policy areas.

As with all policy areas, rural and community development issues are also regularly discussed at full Government meetings and that is where all formal decisions are made.
