Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

We and the Minister's backbench are inundated by schools who cannot get any kind of answer on whether to go ahead with a proposal. Her Department has the information and she refuses to make it readily available. She will not even give me a commitment to go through the 3,200 odd files in two weeks. If the Minister could say four weeks, I could live with that, but she refuses to give the information. She is abusing her position of being accountable to this House.
