‹ Priority Questions. Correction of Written Answer
Summary
The Minister corrected a previous answer, explaining that correspondence had been misfiled and the error was innocent.
Before giving the replies to today's questions, I wish to refer briefly to the written answer given by me to Question No. 172 on 7 April. The reply to Deputy Cassidy indicated that representations on the part of a named individual had not been received when, in fact, they had. I am informed that the correspondence in question had been misfiled.
When the error came to my attention, I corrected the misinformation by writing to Deputy Cassidy and I notified the Ceann Comhairle's office of the matter. I am glad to correct the record for the House. It arose from an innocent error.
