Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

My Department was established on 19 July 2017, to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland. It has not had expenditure or allocations attributable to any drugs programmes from 2017 to-date, this would be primarily the responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Health.
