andMr. Barry asked the Taoiseach if he will state in respect of each of the commissions and interdepartmental committees referred to in a reply of 24th February (1) the purpose for which it was set up and (2) when it is expected that it will issue a final report.

The subject matter for consideration by the interdepartmental Committee on the Arts is the administration of the institutions and services concerned with the Arts. The Committee's final report is expected this year. The subject matter for consideration by the interdepartmental Committee on Emergency Planning is apparent from the Committee's title. A final report from the Committee is not envisaged.
