Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

In response to the Deputy's question some 1,102 written Parliamentary Questions were replied to in the period 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012. In the vast majority of cases the answers were provided in full. However, in a small number of cases the information requested by the Deputy was not available in the time allowed for a response to be given and the information was subsequently forwarded directly to the Deputy.
