Minister of State at the Department of Defence

A range of powers and responsibilities were delegated to me as Minister with Responsibility for Defence by the Defence (Delegation of Ministerial Functions) Order 2017, made on 5 July 2017 under s. 2(1) of the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1977.

In that role, I have attended numerous events since my appointment. The Taoiseach has been in attendance at a number of these events, including the recent launch of Ireland's bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
