Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I have two comments and two questions. The Minister complained earlier about the high volume of questions his Department is obliged to answer. If he examined the reply he just offered, he would note he was asked two questions to which he provided approximately 15 answers. That is his own fault in this case. He should parse and analyse the reply that was written for him. He was asked about how much the scheme will cost and when the board will complete its work. In answering it he made a mountain out of a molehill. We could get through far more questions if he answered the question he was specifically asked.
