There are no state agencies operating under the remit of my Department. There are currently three bodies, which operate under the aegis of my Department: the Development Education Advisory Committee (DEAC); the Government Emigrant Services Advisory Committee (previously known as Díon); and the Fulbright Commission (The Board of the Ireland – United States Commission for Educational Exchange). A further two bodies – the Advisory Board for Irish Aid (ABIA) and the Hunger Task Force – also operated during the period in question.

The Fulbright Commission, ABIA and the Hunger Task Force received funding from my Department during the period in question, as indicated in the following table. The remaining bodies are advisory committees, the administrations of which are all serviced directly by my Department's budget.
