Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Pat Rabbitte)

It is not possible to provide the information requested in the timeframe allowed but my Department will provide it together with the information being supplied in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 406 of 14 February 2012.

Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy. I will, however, request relevant Agencies and bodies under aegis of my Department to respond directly to the Deputy in the matter.
