Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The Dublin Cemeteries Committee was set up under a Private Act, the Dublin Cemeteries Committee Act 1970, which replaced an earlier Private Act of 1846. The 1970 Act empowers the said Committee to provide, operate and maintain cemeteries in the Dublin area and undertake related activities. As nister for the Environment, Community and Local Government I have no role or function in relation the Act. The Committee is not a body under the aegis of my Department, and does not receive any funding from my Department's Vote.
