Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Taoiseach has rehearsed that reply on several occasions. Does he have a view on whether the time has come to review the charges for freedom of information requests, which appear to be a significant factor in people deciding against submitting requests? Is there any intention of reconsidering the question or am I to grow tired asking it?

Does the Taoiseach wish to comment on the freedom of information released by the Department of Finance which revealed that an acquaintance of his, a gentlemen by the name of Mr. Turner, claimed that he received tacit approval from the Taoiseach for the construction of a major project in the Phoenix Park. I am aware the issue does not strictly concern the Department of the Taoiseach but he may wish to comment.

Arising from his reply to Deputy Gilmore, can we find out when the Minister for Health and Children was made aware of the theft of the laptop in the United States? I am aware the matter does not directly concern the Taoiseach's Department.
