In addition to her assignment to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, she has now also been assigned to my Department where she has responsibility for a range of functions relating to Community, Local and Rural Development. Any associated statutory responsibilities/functions to be delegated will be the subject of a formal Delegation of Functions Order in due course.
