Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive, together.

My Department received two freedom of information, FOI, requests in March 2009, 31 in the first four months of this year and 37 between the start of the year and the end of May. In response to the second part of Deputy Gilmore's question, I have included below a table showing the numbers of FOI requests received in my Department each month from January to May for the years 2002 to 2009.
