Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality

9:00 am

Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I am not sure it is. As I said earlier, the Department of Justice and Equality is an organisation made up of 2,500 people. It is difficult to say, corporately.

A difficulty we have in answering parliamentary questions is that if a Deputy has a specific question about a specific event, we can check that, but we cannot be definitive about something broad that has gone on for many years. If the Deputy gives us specifics, we will certainly address it and I will do my best to get back to the Deputy on it.
