Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I refer the Deputy to the details of my reply to Question No. 54 September 2009. The disability functions of my Department centre on promoting the principles of equality but do not involve service delivery. No decision has been made to transfer the disability functions of my Department at this juncture.
