Question 998: To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 267 of 21 October 2009 if he will request the State agencies and organisations under the remit of his Department to provide the amount each agency paid to the Irish Business and Employers Confederation for the years 2007, 2008 and to date in 2009; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that other Ministers were able to instruct their agencies to respond to the previous parliamentary question; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 267 of 21 October 2009, I stated that membership of the Irish Business and Employers Confederation by bodies operating under the aegis of my Department is a day to day operational issue for those bodies and not one in which I have a role.

I will request that the agencies reply directly to the Deputy with the information sought.
