Summary
After Question 32 was postponed, Kelly asked whether postponement would ensure the Minister answered it later. Geoghegan-Quinn confirmed that the Minister would reply if present when it was reached.
On a point of order, could I inquire in regard to the question which you have been kind enough to postpone, a Cheann Comhairle, whether if I had not postponed this question, and if the Minister had been here, the question would have been answered in any event by his Parliamentary Secretary?
Comment on this
No, that is not so. I am answering because the Minister is away on official business.
Comment on this
I am only inquiring whether through postponing it I will ensure that the Minister will reply to it eventually.
