Written answers
It has not been possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy within the time allowed. I will write to the Deputy to provide this information as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question number 673 of 3 March 2021 where you asked for the dates on which my Department received correspondence from the Hickson Commission of Investigation in tabular form. You will recall that some of the information could not be obtained in the time available and Minister McEntee undertook to contact you again when the requested information was available.
My Department is in contact with the Hickson Commission of Investigation on an ongoing basis regarding various administrative supports and requirements such as payment requests, as well as other ad-hoc issues that may arise for the Commission.
As you will appreciate, to compile the information in the manner requested would be an extremely resource intensive exercise given the regularity and ongoing nature of communication between my Department and the Commission.
If you could indicate the nature of any particular correspondence which is of interest, my Department would be happy to consider such a request.
I trust this information is of assistance.
