I propose to take Questions Nos. 924 and 925 together.
Arrangements are in place in my Department for the preparation of draft responses to Parliamentary Questions for submission to me in a timely manner. Those arrangements, which take full account of the requirements of Dáil Éireann for replying to Parliamentary Questions, include final scrutiny of draft replies by senior officials at Management Board level prior to their submission to me for final approval. I am satisfied that these arrangements are appropriate in terms of meeting the relevant requirements for replying to Parliamentary Questions.
