In accordance with the Instructions on Ministerial Appointments for the 31st Dáil, Ms Claire Langton was appointed as a special adviser to my office on 10 March 2011. Ms Langton has been placed on the first point of the Principal Officer (standard scale) in accordance with the instructions. My colleague, the Minister of State with responsibility for Housing and Planning, Deputy Penrose, is arranging for the appointment of special advisers. These will be completed as soon as possible. All special advisers appointed to my Department are required to perform any duties, which may be assigned to them from time to time as appropriate to the position of special adviser as set out in section 11 of the Public Service Management Act 1997. Their functions will include the provision of advice and the monitoring, facilitation and provision of assistance in securing Government objectives that relate to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
