Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach): Information on Niamh Bhreathnach  Zoom on Niamh Bhreathnach  I propose to take Questions Nos. 579 and 580 together.

The Minister of State at my Department will have special responsibilities in relation to Youth and Sport and such other general responsibilities as shall be decided from time to time.

I do not consider it necessary to have an Order made by the Government delegating those functions to the Minister of State under the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) (No. 2) Act, 1977 and, [1106] therefore, I do not propose to request the Government to make such an Order.
