View answerThere are four bodies operating under the aegis of my Department. These are: the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange (the Fulbright Commission); the Development Education Advisory Committee, the Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group, and the Emigrant Services Advisory Committee. These were all in operation prior to February 2011 and none has been abolished. No agencies, bodies, boards or other organisations have been established by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade since February 2011.
