Question 663: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the organisations or authorities operating within his Department's policy area, set up by statute or statutory instrument, for which he does not have official responsibility to Dáil Éireann. [31113/07]

There are no state bodies or boards established under statute or statutory instrument under the aegis of my Department for which I do not have official responsibility to Dáil Éireann. Ministerial responsibility varies in the case of the bodies and boards concerned on the basis of the provisions of the relevant statute or statutory instrument in each case. Day to day operational matters are entirely a matter for the body or board concerned.
