I wish to advise the Deputy that the briefing material I and the Ministers of State at my Department received on commencement will be published on my Department's website shortly.
The Ministers of State appointed to my Department and their areas of responsibility are as follows:
- Mr. Noel Grealish, T.D. : Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Food Promotion, New Markets, Research and Development – Minister Grealish attends Cabinet;
- Mr. Michael Healy-Rae, T.D. : Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Forestry, Horticulture and Farm Safety;
- Mr. Timmy Dooley, T.D. : Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Fisheries.
My Department is currently making arrangements for the delegation of functions to the Ministers of State, and once finalised, the details of the functions delegated will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
