View answerThe issues raised by the Deputy are day-to-day matters for the agencies concerned. Arising from the work of the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform, my Department is currently engaged in a review of the arrangements currently in place in the State bodies under its aegis for the provision of information to members of the Oireachtas in relation to such matters.
Pending completion of this review, my Department is making arrangements for the information requested to be collated and forwarded to the Deputy in line with the timelines set out in Standing Orders.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
