Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2010
211 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Science the number of parliamentary questions that have remained unanswered due to staff action to date in 2010; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17256/10]
View answerThe vast majority of the approximately 1,100 Parliamentary Questions submitted to my Department to date in 2010 have received a full and comprehensive response. Unfortunately, due to the industrial action undertaken by some civil service grades, it has not been possible to fully address all of the issues raised by Deputies in a small number of Parliamentary Questions. In such instances, my officials have endeavoured to provide as comprehensive a response as is possible under the existing circumstances.
