Since my appointment as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government I have not devolved any areas or functions to the state bodies and boards under the aegis of my Department. Day to day operational matters are a matter for the board or body concerned. In responding to inquiries, the Quality Customer Service Principles of timeliness and courtesy are relevant and appropriate to all state bodies and boards.
