As the Deputy will be aware, on foot of the restructuring of Government Departments announced by the Taoiseach in March 2011, functions that previously were under the remit of the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs - shortly to be renamed as the Department of Children and Youth Affairs - have now transferred to six reconfigured Departments.

The Family Support Agency is the sole agency under my Department's aegis at this time and I am advised that this agency is not a member of the Irish Business and Employers' Confederation.
