447. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the specific delegated functions that have been transferred to Ministers of State appointed in December 2022, in tabular form; and the date of transfer. [1479/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware on 21st December last An Taoiseach announced the appointment of two Ministers of State at my Department - Patrick O'Donovan T.D. (Gaeltacht) and Thomas Byrne T.D. (Sport).
My officials are currently liaising with the office of the Attorney General in relation to the drafting of Delegation of Functions orders in respect of both Minister of States' roles. It is expected that these orders will be submitted to An Taoiseach for signature at an early date.
These orders will reflect the delegation of functions previously set out in S.I 547 of 2020 (Gaeltacht) and S.I. 548 of 2020 (Sport).
