Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 5 and 6 together. Nine requests were received in my Department during May 2010. One was granted, three were partially granted and five are currently being processed. All freedom of information requests received in my Department are processed by statutorily designated officials in accordance with the Freedom of Information Acts. I have no role in processing requests.
