Parliamentary questions are an intrinsic part of Parliament and each year tens of thousands of questions are asked by Members. They are directed to each Department and answered by the appropriate Minister.

Overview of parliamentary questions

Questions are directed to all Departments but some Departments get more than others. Questions designated for oral reply may be heard in plenary sessions of the Dáil but the vast majority of questions are answered in written replies.

Take a look with our interactive overview of the questions asked by Members for each year. Visuals are rendered in real time using the Oireachtas open data API, which may result in a short delay, especially with initial loading and when loading different years.











All data are from the Oireachtas open data API, with data visuals rendered using d3.js in these source notebooks.
