Brennan to meet 30 voluntary groups before Budget
The former Transport Minister, who was accused of showing a less than enthusiastic attitude to his new portfolio following last week’s Cabinet reshuffle, will meet representatives of the organisations for four hours at an inner city community resource centre in Dublin.
The meeting, described as a Pre-Budget Forum, has become a regular event in the calendar of social welfare ministers but will represent Mr Brennan’s first major contact with groups most affected by his decisions of his department.
