Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I will respond briefly. I know the Taoiseach answered only with reference to his Department as it is the Taoiseach's Question Time, but he mentioned that he cannot speak for any other Department. Is that because of the restriction of Question Time to matters pertaining to his own Department, or is it the case that, although he is the Prime Minister, he actually does not know whether any other Department has followed up on the recommendations of the Information Commissioner?

In relation to the issue of decision letters, can the Taoiseach confirm to the House that it is the practice in his Department to include the information recommended by the Information Commissioner? In other words, do the letters clearly outline the searches undertaken and specify the locations in which these searches have been carried out?
