Vol. 530 No. 6
119 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the authorities, agencies, organisations and institutions established by legislation which are ultimately accountable to his Department and which deal with issues which were once the responsibility of his Department; the year of their establishment; the most recent annual budget of each body; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4562/01]
It is not easy at this juncture to distinguish between bodies which have over time taken on responsibilities which otherwise or previously would have been discharged directly by my Department. In an effort to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have listed a range of bodies. Details of the bodies concerned, their establishment and budgets are given in the following table.
