Michael Noonan
Question:256 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the sale price of the Official Reports of the Dáil and Seanad (Parliamentary Debates) was increased from £2 to £5 per copy from January 2000; his views on whether this price increase of 150% is acceptable and will discourage members of the public from reading the proceedings of the Dáil and Seanad; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
