Mr. Willie Penrose, TD, has been appointed Minister of State at my Department, with responsibility for Housing and Planning. In addition, Mr. Fergus O'Dowd, TD, has been appointed Minister for State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and at my own Department with responsibility for the NewERA Plan. I will be delegating comprehensive housing and planning functions to Minister of State Penrose, and water services functions appropriate to his responsibility for "Irish Water", a new utility to be established under NewERA, to Minister of State O'Dowd.
