Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

There are four agencies under my Department’s remit: the Western Development Commission, POBAL, Irish Water Safety, and the Charities Regulator.

In respect of these bodies, they are all independent legal entities responsible for managing their own corporate affairs in compliance with their statutory obligations.

The details of the Oireachtas contact point for each of the agencies, who would be in a position to provide the Deputy with information in relation to compliance with Circular 25/2016, are set out in the table below:

Agency	Contact details
Pobal	[e-mail]
Charities Regulator	[e-mail]
