Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

There is currently no formal policy or protocol in my Department to notify Oireachtas member of events I attend in constituencies. In many instances, local event organisers would manage invitations for constituency events which I attend in the course of my ministerial duties.
