I note that in a letter you wrote to me dated 31 October 1989, in reply to my request to submit a question as follows: that the Minister give a county by county breakdown of the number of Teamwork schemes currently underway and the number of people thereon, you replied that the Minister had no official responsibility to the Dáil in relation to this matter which was one for FÁS, and therefore the question was ruled out. This is almost exactly the same question but does not ask for a county by county breakdown and therefore has been permitted on to the Order Paper. In view of the fact that there would seem to be a marked similarity between this question and the questions I will be putting on this matter on the Order Paper for a subsequent Question Time, I assume that it will be permitted.

I will look into the matter but I am pretty certain that these matters are looked into in great depth and detail by my office. Lest there be any doubt or ambiguity about the matter I will certainly have it re-examined.
