Departmental Staff
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-14
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not agree with that. There is a need and Government is becoming wide-ranging. There are areas, such as insurance, that need specialist attention. As we heard on the Order of Business, it is a key area and it is a good idea to have a Minister of State, together with senior Ministers, specifically charged with trying to deal with that area.
That is the position. When we get further details we will put them out transparently. All of this information will be in the public domain. I will have further details on how advisers will overlap in terms of the line Departments for which the Tánaiste and the Minister with responsibility for climate action and Environment have responsibility.
