It is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the required time. The information is currently being compiled and I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
The Minister’s earlier reply stated that it was not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the required time. I now wish to inform the Deputy that no fines have been paid by my Department since the start of the 33rd Dáil term to the European Commission relating to cases for infringements of European Union law or failure to transpose EU law.
As regards the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
