Combining written and oral questions

Summary

Collins queried whether a written question could be dealt with in an oral answer; the Ceann Comhairle ruled that it was in order because it was linked to the question.

On a point of order, is it possible to take a written question and deal with in an oral answer?

It is possible. It is linked with the question. The point raised by the Deputy also struck me at first but it is in order to take the question.
