I asked why my question to the Taoiseach, which related to the Fraud Squad investigation into Údaras na Gaeltachta, was transferred to the Minister for the Gaeltacht. You said, Sir, that you would consider the matter.

We examined the matter and the Department concerned said the question was more appropriate to the Department of the Gaeltacht. As the Deputy knows, there is collective Government responsibility——

Presumably the report will be coming from the Department of Justice, yet this question is being assigned to the Department of the Gaeltacht.

I cannot intervene in the matter. It was passed from the Department of the Taoiseach to the Department of the Gaeltacht as being more appropriate for reply.

Are you saying it is not your decision but that of the Department?

The reply comes from the Department saying it is more appropriate for another Department.

You do not have any say in regard to where the questions will go?

No.

The remaining questions will appear on the Order Paper for Wednesday, 28 April, unless Members want written replies, in which case they must notify the General Office this afternoon.

I would like to have written replies to Questions Nos. 37, 38, 182 and 183; all the other questions in my name to stand.

I want written replies to all questions in my name.

I would like written replies to all questions in my name, expect those down to the Department of Justice.
