Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can give the Deputy a report on the agency under my control and seek information on the Department of Social Protection and the Revenue Commissioners which have statutory responsibilities in this area. The suspension of the sitting is unnecessary to enable me to seek that information and would not in any way be helpful in accelerating the gathering of the information from the agencies involved. I am happy to undertake to assemble the information for the Deputy.

I cannot guarantee that he will be happy with the information provided, because these are independent agencies that are conducting their work in a fair and objective way. However, I will assemble the information to the best of my ability.
