‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Energy Consumption. Responsibilities of Ministers of State
Summary
Barry sought clarification about who holds responsibility for energy matters and pressed for an account of Ministers of State’s responsibilities. Burke said a related question on the Order Paper would be answered in due course.
Did the Minister use a phrase in the last sentence of his reply saying that he is now responsible for energy matters?
Comment on this
I said I had only recently assumed responsibility for energy matters, meaning the Minister, Deputy O'Malley.
Comment on this
It would be of great assistance to the House if we could get from some member of the Government —something we have failed to get over three months—exactly what are the responsibilities of the Ministers of State. Will the Minister be responsible for energy matters now?
