Vol. 435 No. 10
144 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the number of parliamentary questions for oral and written answer, respectively, tabled to his Department since the formation of the present Government; and the total cost of dealing with these questions.
D'fhreagair mé féin agus m' Aire Stáit, Pat The Cope Ó Gallchóir Uasal, T.D., beagnach 190 ceist pharlaiminte ó bhéil agus 200 ceist pharlaiminte scríofa ó bunaíodh an Rialtas i mí Eanáir seo caite.
Ní féidir figiúir cruinn a thabhairt faoin gcostas a bhaineann le freagraí a réiteach ar cheisteanna parlaiminte. Tuigtear, áfach, go ndearnadh suirbhé faoin ábhar seo i measc Ranna Stáit tamall de bhlianta ó shin a léirigh gur bhain costas de thart ar £40 (£65 in airgead an lae inniu) le gach ceist pharlaiminte a fhreagraítear.
