Minister Humphreys Changes Name Of Department
Minister Heather Humphreys has confirmed her Department has changed its name to the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
Minister Humphreys said: "This name reflects the wide range of responsibilities under my Department’s remit. Placing 'Arts' at the start of the title also reflects the fact that the arts division accounts for the biggest portion of my Department's budget. In 2016, arts, culture and film will account for half of the budget under my reconfigured Department. My Department's website and associated materials will be updated to reflect the new name in the coming days."
