Details of the meetings of the Government Task Force (GTF) on Emergency Planning since its formation in 2001 are provided in the tabular list included with this reply.

The Government established the GTF as a top level structure which gives policy direction and coordinates emergency planning activities across all Government Departments and public authorities.  The GTF, which I Chair, meets every 6-8 weeks and at least 6 times a year. The GTF is comprised of Ministers, senior officials of Government Departments, senior officers of the Defence Forces and An Garda Síochána and officials of other key public authorities having a lead or support role in Government and national emergency planning.
