There are 52 Local Development Companies contracted, on my Department's behalf, to deliver a number of programmes throughout the country, these companies are private limited companies. In this context my Department has no role in the staffing or HR structures of these companies and any decisions relating to their staffing structure are the sole responsibility of the individual development company.

All funding decisions regarding programmes delivered by my Department will be made in the context of the overall national budgetary situation and will be addressed as part of the estimates process.
