Question:
To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure what assessment he has made of the impact of the increase in (i) fuel costs; and (ii) fuel duty, on the departmental budget and the realisation of efficiency targets; and what action he has taken to mitigate against these increased costs.

Answer:

As this is only a small element of the Department's running costs there has been no assessment made of the impact of the increase in (i) fuel costs; and (ii) fuel duty, on the departmental budget and the realisation of efficiency targets. There has been no action taken to mitigate against these increased costs.
