asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries what the price of first grade wool is in each of the member countries of the EEC.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. However, if he will kindly repeat his question the week after next I would hope to be in a position to give him what up-to-date information can be obtained.

I am calling Question No. 24.

In relation to Question No. 22 can the Minister give an assurance that the children will be provided with special transport?

Within the normal regulations that cover the school bus situation.

I would ask the Minister for Agriculture to repeat the reply to Question No. 23.

The Minister has been discourteous.

Is the Minister for Agriculture discourteous because he obeys the Chair?

There was another time when he could have spoken and given the Taoiseach information which it was his duty to give him and he was silent.

Order. The Deputies should please listen to what question is being answered.

Neither should the Minister have interrupted.

I agree the Minister should not have interrupted. If the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries wishes to answer Question No. 23 again I have no objection.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. However, if he will kindly repeat his question the week after next I would hope to be in a position to give him what up-to-date information can be obtained.
