The Social Partnership Agreement, Partnership 2000, provides for the creation of Partnership Committees in every Government Department. Such a Committee, which was in existence on the formation of my Department in June 2007, continues to function. No funding has been allocated to that Committee or persons associated with that Committee. Social partnership bodies in agencies under the aegis of my Department are the matter for the agencies in question.
