No regulations have been enacted by the Minister of State, Pat the Cope Gallagher, T.D.
The principal functions for which Minister of State has day-to-day responsibility are as follows:
∙Maritime Safety
∙Ports
∙Relations with the Road Haulage Sector
∙The Rural Transport Initiative
∙Transport accessibility and the Department's Disability Action Plan
∙Strategy on ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems)
∙North/ South issues
∙EU issues
In addition, the Minister of State is actively involved in road safety matters and is a member of the Ministerial Committee on Road Safety. The allocation of functions to the Minister of State has been made by way of an administrative arrangement rather than a formal delegation of functions order.
