I welcome the commitment by the Minister of State. I acknowledge that Westmeath County Council provides good funding for community groups in the various parades that are held there. Has the Minister, Deputy Ross, delegated some powers and functions to the Minister of State? It has been a matter of curiosity and concern both for the Minister and other Members of the House. Can he confirm whether or not those functions have been delegated to date?
