I can confirm that my Department and agencies/bodies under the aegis of my Department have dedicated contacts in place for members of the Houses of the Oireachtas.
The Deputy will be aware that my Department provides members of the Oireachtas with a list of dedicated e-mail addresses for the various scheme areas in order to facilitate a rapid response to specific queries for their constituents directly with the relevant scheme area. These mailboxes are monitored every day and operate quickly, efficiently and effectively.
I am arranging to have this list updated and to have it re-circulated to Oireachtas members. The updated list will include the dedicated e-mail addresses for the bodies under the aegis of my Department.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
