I propose to take Questions Nos. 428 and 429 together.
The Government, on completion of a wide ranging review of State Bodies, published its decision on the rationalisation of such Bodies in November 2012. In relation to my Department, the Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSI) will be merged with the Property Registration Authority and the Valuation Office which will, this year, see it transfer to the Department of Justice and Equality, who are leading on the transfer process. The Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA) will transition to Dublin City Council (DCC), pending the enactment of legislation. Arrangements for the transitioning of DHDA to DCC are underway with a view to completing the transition this year. There is provision for certain back-office administrative functions of the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) to be merged. There have been no new State Bodies established by my Department since March 2011.
