‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Representations to Department. Delays in ministerial replies
Summary
O’Keeffe complained that Ministers of State had taken up to two months to reply to Deputies. Barrett said his Ministers did not cause unnecessary delays.
Could the Minister also ask his junior Ministers to ensure that when they are replying they do so reasonably promptly and not tell a Deputy two months after the event that something has happened? I do not accept that this is a matter for joking. I do not know if it is happening to Government Deputies but it is happening on this side and it is a disgrace.
