I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 465 of 13 July last

The Order transferring relevant functions in respect of rural and regional development and related matters was considered at Government today and will be published shortly. The final financial and staffing allocations transferring to the new Department are under consideration and will be finalised at a later date.
