-----if the responsibility for the content of the question belongs to, for example, the Chief Whip or a Minister of State. Questions Nos. 6 and 7 are on matters relating to the census. The Central Statistics Office is the responsibility of the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach. He would answer those questions.
