asked the Taoiseach if he has assigned responsibility for State relations with the Churches to any member of the Government.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 and 2 together.

The answer to both questions is in the negative.

Question No. 3, Deputy M. O'Leary.

I think that question is postponed.

I was not notified. If the Minister has been notified that the question was postponed——

My Private Secretary told me they were postponed.

That was our under-standing. It may not have been fully communicated but our understanding was that Deputy O'Leary had sought the postponement of these questions.

Questions Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 postponed.
