Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 June 2014
244. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will list in tabular form all legislation and specific sections therein that refer to powers delegated to the Minister of State with special responsibility for training and skills; if he will detail the title of the civil servants who are responsible for reporting directly to said Minister of State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24618/14]
View answerPowers as listed in the table were delegated under SI No. 379 of 2011 Education and Skills (Delegation of Ministerial Functions) Order 2011, to the Minister of State with special responsibility for training and skills.
It should be noted that SI 379 of 2011 referred to the Labour Services Act, 1987 which has since been repealed by the Further Education and Training Act, 2013. A revised order to take account of the passage of the legislation is being drafted.
Reporting lines to a Minister of State are not exclusive, as officials will have a range of duties and will have a reporting obligation to the Minister for Education and Skills. In that context, all officials in the Department of Education and Skills engaged in the delegated areas have direct or indirect reporting arrangements, as appropriate, to the Minister of State.
