Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

The Minister will not answer questions on agencies under his remit on the ground that he is not responsible for them. Let us contrast his position with that obtaining in the House of Commons. I have a copy of Hansard, the record of proceedings of the House of Commons, which includes questions on issues such as additional road links to Exeter Airport. I asked a question on a similar issue of the Minister.
