I am not aware of any commitment the Taoiseach made to Deputy Troy on parliamentary questions but I do know that my Department uses a great deal of its resources, at a cost of several million euro per year, to answer parliamentary questions in their many facets and formats. I think my Department answers the largest number of individual parliamentary questions and my staff, at all levels, give a very dedicated service to Members of the Dáil and Seanad. A great deal of work is involved in answering the volume of questions received and we try to give detailed answers.
