Before you pass down to Number Four on the Clár I want some information. I sent in notice of motion for a Bill of great importance and I do not see it on to-day's agenda. When may I expect to see it?

This telegram came before the Cabinet. It was handed to my Department.

I sent it to the Secretary of the Dáil.

The Dáil had nothing to do with the franchise. It had no machinery for dealing with it. It accepted the other machinery and as the pre-Truce arrangements are still in operation the Dáil has got nothing whatever to do with the franchise.
