Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian Hayes)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 192 and 193 together. The information requested by the Deputy is not available, as such information, in the format requested, was never compiled. My Office, in consultation with the Department of Enterprise, Jobs & Innovation, is looking at the feasibility of sourcing such information in the future.
