View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 180 and 181 together.
Since the beginning of the year I have met with both EirGrid and the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) on a number of occasions. The dates of those meetings are set out in the table below. Details of meetings for previous years are published on: www.gov.ie/en/organisation-information/0f06eb-ministers-diaries/

Officials in my Department regularly engage with EirGrid and CRU. Frequent meetings are held on a range of matters including but not limited to energy security; grid access; renewable energy; and corporate governance. Dates of meetings at official level are not readily available and compilation of the information would take an inordinate amount of time.
