Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

On a point of order, the question is properly tabled to the Taoiseach. The media unit is in his Department and is paid for by the taxpayer. The Taoiseach has refused to answer the question, not once but twice. Not alone that, he reworded the question and kicked it off to the Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey. That is not acceptable. I have been in contact with the Taoiseach's office and I accept the goodwill of that office and the questions office also. Will the Taoiseach assure me this matter will be investigated by his good self immediately so as to provide a proper response to the question in the Dáil where he has to be accountable?
