On 14th June 2017, An Taoiseach announced the new Government, signalling a reconfiguration of the Department, with responsibility for culture, heritage, Gaeilge, Gaeltacht and the islands. On Thursday 6th July I confirmed that the new name of the Department will be the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. My officials are now preparing an order to change the name of the Department and the Minister’s title, under the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 1939.
Arrangements to update the Department’s website and associated materials will also be made in the coming weeks. Any costs arising will be met from existing administrative budget provisions. I am advised that it is not expected that significant costs will arise as much of the work involved will be completed in-house and that existing stationery stocks will be replaced upon re-order.
