Amharc ar fhreagra364. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of staff deployed full time in her Department in respect of Brexit; if there is a designated section or unit to deal with Brexit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17013/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 363 and 364 together.
There is no senior official in my Department with designated responsibility for Brexit matters. My Department is represented at Principal Officer level on the Interdepartmental Committee on Brexit chaired by the Department of the Taoiseach. I have no specific Brexit Unit and, accordingly, no funding allocated or anticipated costs.
