asked the Minister for Justice if it is intended to introduce proposals for legislation to extend the hours during which licensed houses, etc., remain open for the sale of intoxicating liquor.

The answer is in the negative.

Might I point out to the Minister that the majority of the people in the Saorstát would be in favour of a nine hours' opening on Sunday?

Question!

That is not a supplementary question.

The position is very unsatisfactory at present and there is no meaning of the words "bona fide."
