I propose to take Questions Nos. 572, 576 and 577 together.
The following table sets out the opening hours for my Department's public offices and telephone lines and whether they close for lunch or not. No study of the opening hours of public offices under the control or remit of my Department has been carried out. The opening hours of offices of Agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the Agencies themselves.
