I propose to answer Question Nos. 163 to 166, inclusive, together.

The following table lists the Agencies under the aegis of my Department and the role they have in processing entitlement payments, the role in carrying out inspections, the role in collection of payments and the role in the issuing of licences.

The numbers of staff involved in these various roles are day-to-day operational matters for the Agencies involved.

There are seven agencies under the remit of this Department that are covered by the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003. Each Freedom of Information Officer in these bodies is responsible for collecting the fees where applicable. The bodies concerned are: Commission for Aviation Regulation; Medical Bureau of Road Safety; National Transport Authority; Railway Procurement Agency; Commission for Taxi Regulation; the National Roads Authority and the Marine Casualty Investigation Board.
