Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

With regard to the reconfiguration of ministerial responsibilities, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív has had responsibility for community, rural and Gaeltacht affairs. Deputy Pat Carey's brief does not include rural affairs. There is genuine concern among people involved in rural affairs. I have received calls on this and I ask the Taoiseach to clarify the matter.
