Vol. 571 No. 1
1083 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport further to a letter (details supplied) from his office of 14 July 2003, when he intends to respond to the issues raised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21012/03]
I refer the Deputy to my letter to him of 24 September 2003.
1084 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport the reason for the delay in issuing a reply to correspondence (details supplied); when a decision will be made on this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21016/03]
The delay in replying to this correspondence arises from a backlog of correspondence in the division in question in my Department. A reply on the matter will issue in the near future. I should point out that a number of matters raised in the correspondence are the responsibility of other Departments.
