I propose to take Questions Nos. 1435 and 1436 together.

The Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources was established in June 2007. The majority of current Departmental functions arise from significant transfer of responsibilities between departments in 2002, 2006 and again in 2007. The identification of records prior to January 2006 cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific item I will make appropriate enquiries.

The information sought by the Deputy as and from 1 January 2006 is set out below.
