Question:

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue):

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available and could only be obtained by diverting substantial staff resources from other important work. However if the Deputy has a specific person or company in mind, I will have further inquiries made in the matter.
