There are two Ministers of State assigned to my Department. The functions to be delegated to each of them have been identified. Minister of State Alan Dillon will have responsibility for functions related to the Circular Economy and Waste Policy. Minister of State Timmy Dooley will have responsibility for functions related to Marine Planning and Inland Fisheries. Work is underway on the required Statutory Instruments to formalise the delegations and these will be finalised and executed as soon as possible.
