Realising that there are about 400 jobs in various firms in the Border counties involved, would the Minister undertake to pay the same rate of subsidy to the people involved in this business as they do in the Six Counties?

The Deputy is raising another matter.

The Deputy is talking through his hat.

The Deputy is not talking through his hat; he is trying to save jobs and will not be bullied by the Minister.

I am surprised that Deputy Wilson does not understand the basic economics——

I may not have the Minister's superior intelligence but I know——

Order.

The so-called champion of the workers should understand——

For many years I was an official representing the workers in Deputy Wilson's area. At that time, Deputy Wilson was not heard of because he had other things to do. He had no time——

Order.

The job he was doing did not affect the ordinary workers' wages.

I am calling Question No. 21.

In view of the unsatisfactory nature of the Minister's reply, I propose to raise this matter on the Adjournment.

I will communicate with the Deputy.

I will be glad to deal with Deputy Wilson on the Adjournment.
