It is proposed to take business in the following order:— Nos. 1, 10, 11, 6, 12, 13, and 9.

Was my question answered?

Yes, but if the Deputy did not hear it I will ask the Minister to repeat it.

I am afraid Deputy Aiken was kicking up a row. The answer is: "This matter is being examined but no decision has yet been reached."

No decision has yet been reached.

May I ask the Taoiseach if he can state now, or if not to-day, next Wednesday, the business which it is hoped to conclude before the Christmas Recess?

Yes. Get the Whips to consult.
