337. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will ensure that when a communication in respect of wrongdoing is received in his Department, it will be deemed to have come to his attention; if he will confirm that, while he is not expected to personally exercise the function of dealing with wrongdoing, he is responsible for ensuring that said function is exercised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17099/14]

I have confidence in the systems in place in my Department for processing incoming communications and for dealing with any allegations of wrongdoing notified to my Department. Furthermore, as appropriate, communications to me as Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht are brought to my attention.
