Robert Troy: It is not something Deputy McGrath can claim.
- Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: To get back to the motion, the Minister thanked my colleagues to my left for coming and discussing it with him last week. Perhaps that is the reason it took him until Monday to contact me and establish whether something could be agreed with regard to Bus Éireann, an issue that is just as important as rural roads.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland - Challenges, Strategies and Governance: Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: If I might ask another question, with regard to governance within the Department, what orders have been made relating to delegated functions for the Minister of State? What exactly is the job of Minister of State in terms of specific responsibilities? What delegated powers does he have? I ask the question in terms of the sports capital programme. I welcome the clarity that has been...
