Maidir leis na príomhoidí, an mbeadh ar an bpríomhoide an t-eolas sin a sheoladh ar ais chuig an Roinn ag am éigin faoi leith? Cathain a bheidh an t-eolas sin ar fáil?

Aindrias Moynihan: Ba mhaith liom rud éigin a chinntiú i m'aigne féin.

Aindrias Moynihan: Tuigim go bhfuil 11% de dhaoine faoi láthair ag fáil an díolúine. An é sin le rá go gcuirfidh sé seo srian ar an líon daoine, má tá córas nua ann, nó conas a oibríonn sé sin? Is 11% a bhí ann anuraidh agus tá sé sin níos mó ná an deichiú peircintíl.
