I propose to take Questions Nos. 584, 585, 586, 587, 588, 589, 590, 591 and 592 together.

My Department does not hold the information requested by the Deputy in a readily accessible format. Therefore, it has not been possible to collate this information within the time available to answer these questions. Officials in my Department are currently gathering information on the matters raised by the Deputy and I will arrange for information to be conveyed directly to the Deputy.
