With regard to my Department, the information sought by the Deputy is not readily available but will be collated and forwarded to him as soon as possible. With regard to agencies or other bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information sought relates to operational matters for those agencies/bodies and my Department does not routinely hold or gather this information.
