The Department of Rural and Community Developmentwas established on 19^thJuly 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland.

I can confirm that there are no staff in my Department in receipt of a higher duty acting allowance for over two years.

Please note, higher duty allowances for the four agencies is a matter for the relevant boards and management of those agencies as they are independent entities who manage their own corporate affairs and staffing issues.
