Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 June 2016
373. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of representations he has received from Members of the Oireachtas and the number of these to which he had not issued a substantive reply by 31 May 2016, by month of initial receipt from 1 January 2015 to 30 April 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15042/16]
View answerThe system that records representations received by my Department does not differentiate between the type of requester. In order to identify Oireachtas Members my staff would have to spend a disproportionate amount of time analysing each individual representation to arrive at the figures you are seeking which I do not consider appropriate.
By way of some assistance, the following table details representations received between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2016.
