I wish to advise the Deputy that the transfer of responsibility for equality, integration, human rights and disability from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to my Department has now taken place and an Order has been made in this regard. The Order cites that my Department has responsibility for these functions from 1 June 2010.

It is my intention to bring a Memorandum to Government shortly regarding the delegation of the functions transferred to my Department

- in respect of equality, human rights and integration to Ms Mary White, T.D., Minister of State with responsibility for Equality, Integration and Human Rights; and

- in respect of disability to Mr John Moloney, TD, who will, of course, continue as Minister of State with special responsibility for Disability Issues and Mental Health at the Department of Health and Children, as well as the renamed Departments of Education and Skills, and Enterprise, Trade and Innovation.
