Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 185 and 200 together.

The financial information requested by the Deputy involves an inordinate amount of administrative time to compile. The various parts of this Department responsible for each grant will compile the information relating to the basis for each grant and will provide this information to the Deputy by letter as soon as possible.
