Question 609: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the areas and functions where responsibility has been devolved from him to a State or statutory agency; the agencies involved; the arrangements in each agency to respond on a priority basis to enquiries from Members of Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As I set out in my reply to the Deputy in Question No. 204 of 6 March, 2008, since my appointment as Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform no areas or functions have been devolved by me to a State or statutory agency.

For the Deputy's assistance, I can advise him that the principal agencies and related bodies under the aegis of my Department are identified on my Department's organisation chart, which can be viewed on my Department's website (www.justice.ie), which also includes links to those bodies' own websites where applicable. Insofar as responding to enquiries from Members of Dáil Éireann is concerned, while this would be a day to day operational matter for the bodies in question, the general principles of quality customer care, including timeliness and courtesy, would apply in respect of such correspondence.
