Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 October 2012
218. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there is a North South Co-operation unit in his Department; the number of staff working in the North South Co-operation unit; the number of staff who have worked in the North South Co-operation unit in each year since 2007. [46610/12]
View answerWork relating to North-South co-operation is managed centrally by the Corporate Affairs Division of my Department. Officials in other Divisions manage the agreed areas of co-operation under the Good Friday Agreement. As the areas of co-operation under the Agreement are managed as part and parcel of the general responsibilities of the Divisions concerned, it is not possible to apportion staff numbers to the North/South functions.
