I can confirm that my own Office and the Offices of the Ministers of State at my Department endeavour to respond to all representations made to us as expeditiously as possible notwithstanding the volumes received. My Department commits the same effort to processing representations as speedily as possible from Oireachtas Members where the representation is made directly to officials. Occasionally, there may be some delay in replying to representations where the volume may spike at a particular time of the year, or in the event that the matter raised is complex or requires extensive research before a reply can issue.
