The Minister of State, Deputy Jan O’Sullivan, was assigned responsibility in 2012 for the implementation of the Government’s Housing Policy Statement - Delivering Homes, Sustaining Communities and a range of associated housing and planning functions - including functions in relation to the foreshore. Parts 1 and 2 of the Schedule to the Environment, Community and Local Government (Delegation of Ministerial Functions) Order 2012 outline the powers (other than the power to prosecute an offence) and duties of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government under specific primary and secondary legislation which were delegated to Minister of State O’Sullivan.
The Housing (Amendment) Act 2013 amended section 31 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009. The functions of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in regard to the Housing (Amendment) Act 2013 were delegated to Minister of State O’Sullivan under the Environment, Community and Local Government (Delegation of Ministerial Functions) Order 2013.
The Statutory Instruments referred to above are available on my Department’s website at - http://www.environ.ie/en/Legislation/General/#d.en.23929 and on www.irishstatutebook.ie. A number of staff in senior management positions in the Housing, and Water & Planning Divisions of my Department work closely with Minister of State O’Sullivan while reporting through the normal Civil Service reporting structure up to Secretary General level.
