Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 784 and 785 together.
My Ministerial diary of events is published online on a quarterly basis at www.gov.ie. My diary of attended events during Quarter 1 2026 is currently being finalised and will be published online in due course.
In terms of the protocol for inviting or notifying local Oireachtas members of constituency events at which Ministers are in attendance in the course of performing their ministerial duties and functions, this depends on the particulars of each event and is usually the responsibility of the organiser.
