Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I seek guidance from the Ceann Comhairle on parliamentary questions coming before the House. I note that parliamentary questions replied to by the Ministers responsible for health and tourism now give a timeframe for agencies such as Fáilte Ireland and the HSE. This is a welcome development because in previous Dáils when I put down questions in these areas Ministers told me that these were not functions under their responsibility. Ministers are now seeking replies from the agencies and putting a timeframe on the process.
