Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Deputy Martin asks a question about issues regarding Europe and finds they are transferred to another Minister, but I do not see those questions - the ones that have actually come through - until they appear on the Order Paper. I have dealt with 260 of them. Deputy Martin has been asking me questions such as "How long did you meet such a person for?", "What time did the meeting take place at?", or "What were the issues that you discussed?". Why did he not frame his question to say "Will the Taoiseach confirm that he had a meeting with President Jerzy Buzek?" or "Would the Taoiseach confirm that they discussed Ireland's EU Presidency for 2013?"?
