Questions (180)

Catherine Connolly

Question:

180. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs further to Parliamentary Question No. 857 of 21 April 2021, if the pre-2015 data can now be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29021/21]

Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs

The situation is unavoidably unchanged since my reply of 21 April to the original question. COVID-19 restrictions on physical attendance at Departmental premises continue to prevent my staff from accessing the physical files required to compile data for the pre-2015 period.

My Department will make direct contact with the Deputy at a later stage with regard to the remainder of the data requested.
