Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. N. Dempsey)

My Department, in consultation as necessary with the Office of the Attorney General, is carrying out a review of the legal basis for charges and fees levied by the Department and will also review the legal basis for charges and fees levied by agencies under its remit. The outcome of this review will be submitted to me as soon as possible.
