Answers to parliamentary questions, particularly questions directed to the HSE and other such organisations, should be made readily available to Members. The Taoiseach made a comment on this in recent times and mentioned specific issues relating to Department of Justice and Equality. I note that Deputy Kelly is here. I am not asking the question on foot of that. The information, particularly as it relates to health matters, should be provided more willingly by the Department rather than being held back. Deputies ask questions on matters of particular urgency. All Departments should be helpful in terms of answering parliamentary questions. I have a respect for the Members of the House who go to the bother of carrying out their work in that way.

We are due to hear from Benefacts later. Can the Minister comment on it?
