In response to the Deputy's question, the subject matter of Parliamentary Question Number 270 of 23 February, 2017 did not relate to public affairs connected with my Department or to matters of administration for which I am officially responsible (including bodies under the aegis of my Department in respect of Government policy). 

The question fell within the responsibilities of other Ministers, so my Department transferred the question to all Departments for their direct reply as is common practice with such questions. 

I understand that on this occasion all Departments with the exception of the Departments of Health and Education and Skills accepted the transfer and replied to the Deputy.  In this context, the Deputy may wish to submit a similar question directly to those Departments.
