Before we enter on public business, may I ask the President whether he is now in a position to state what steps he intends taking to give effect to the motion that was carried in the Dáil on Thursday last with reference to ex-servicemen.

That is one of the matters that I intended to refer to just now. I should like to announce that on the motion for adjournment to-morrow evening it is my intention to move that the Dáil adjourn until 15th February.
