asked the Minister for Local Government if he has any plans before his Department for the erection of houses on a county council plot of ground at Manorcunningham, County Donegal.

The answer is "No".

And a civil one, as usual.

What does the Deputy mean? It is in the negative.

I will get Deputy Dowling to ask my questions for me in future.

The Minister should not strain himself by pretending he has got good manners.

The answer is in the negative. Either I have got plans or I have not. I have not, and therefore the answer is no. Any other answer would be wrong.

The country knows that the Minister has no plans.

I have no plans from Donegal County Council for the erection of houses on this plot at Manorcunningham. If I have not, the only correct answer I can give is no.
