On a point of order, on the Order of Business this morning, I raised a question which has been ruled out of order. In view of the fact that no statement has been made by the Minister for the Environment on the subject, could we invite him to make a statement in the House tomorrow morning?

The Deputy has made several efforts to discuss this matter. He knows why it has been ruled out of order. If he has some other question to ask the Minister he can proceed in the ordinary way and seek to have it put on the Order Paper.

I accept there is the problem that it is sub judice, but the Minister knows that the statement he made was not factual. We are offering him an opportunity to correct it, lest the House might think he misled us deliberately.

The Deputy is raising this matter in a rather backhanded way.

I want to put the record straight. I am sure he did not intend to mislead the House.
