Michael Creed

Question:

292 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation regarding the industrial dispute in his Department where parliamentary questions regarding new school buildings are not being answered in detail; and if he will give a commitment for a more detailed reply to be given to all parliamentary questions tabled when the dispute is over. [11525/00]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

Where possible, my Department has provided comprehensive answers to parliamentary questions during the industrial dispute.

In cases where the information sought was not readily available and I indicated that the details would be furnished to a particular Deputy at a later stage, such questions will be fully answered when the dispute has been resolved.
