Written answers

While some agencies under the aegis of the Department perform a regulatory function as part of the suite of services they provide, specific information on related resource implications is not available in my Department.

Under the Department’s agency rationalisation programme 21 agencies have been reduced to 10 through a series of measures. The operations of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) will be wound up by the end of 2013 and the Environmental Protection Agency and the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland will merge by mid-2014.
