I propose to take Questions Nos. 240 and 241 together.

My Department was established on the 6th June 2002. Since its establishment, my Department has not enacted any statutory instruments of the type referred to by the Deputy. Waterways Ireland, an agency under the aegis of my Department, has the power to make statutory instruments.
