As the Deputy will be aware, the Taoiseach announced the establishment of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in March 2011, and appointed Deputy Dinny McGinley as Minister of State to my Department with special responsibility for Gaeltacht Affairs.

The Deputy may wish to note that a draft Order entitled Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Delegation of Ministerial Functions) Order 2011 is currently being prepared by my Department and will be forwarded to Government for approval shortly.
