Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2015
296. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the parliamentary question which he replied to on 3 April 2012, as stated in his speech on the Siteserv Private Members' business on 6 May 2015, in view of the fact that Dáil Éireann was in recess on this date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18644/15]
View answerWhen the Deputy submitted the question in March 2012, it was originally for answer on Tuesday 3rd April 2012. Please note that this question was submitted prior to the electronic parliamentary question system coming into place.
When the question was received by my officials, it was recorded in electronic format for answer on Tuesday 3rd April 2012. When Dáil Éireann adjourned for the Easter recess on 29 March 2012, the question was rescheduled for answer on 18 April 2012.
So while the question was answered on 18th April 2012, the original date for answer of 3rd April 2012 remained in the text of the response, from which I drew material for my speech.
