asked the Minister for Finance the total amount spent to date on the proposal to tape record debates.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dáil Tape Recording.
10.
The total amount spent on foot of the decision taken in March, 1972, on the installation of tape recording facilities in the Dáil was £6,200.
Will the Minister state why it has not been put into operation?
This is a matter for the Ceann Comhairle and the House, not for the Minister for Finance. I have no information on the matter.
The money has been spent and apparently the machinery has been installed. Is there any reason why we cannot put it into operation?
I think the Deputy might direct that question to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges who are the relevant authority.
