Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

In respect of the rule governing this matter, when an answer is printed in the Official Report and not provided orally, I understand the rule is that Members await a reply rather than pursue matters by supplementary questions. Upon receipt of the reply, there will be an opportunity to put various detailed questions based on the considerable number of committees which have been communicated. I believe this is the best way to proceed. I do not have any information other than the tabular information.
