While the Minister may be making some moves in his Department, having regard to the fact that he is the Minister responsible for improving the lot of these people, would he have consultations with the Minister for Finance about the tax problem with regard to widows where they are being discriminated against?

I have warned the Deputy before against attempting to stir up trouble between myself and my colleagues.

I was not being facetious in saying that. Will the Minister seriously consider the whole question of discrimination against widows in the areas of tax and social welfare? Tax and social welfare are interlinked and one cannot talk about increasing social welfare if it is being taxed.

The Deputy is long enough here to know that questions about taxation should be addressed to the Minister for Finance. The Deputy asked me a specific question about widows, as far as I am concerned, and I have given him a fair resumé of reasonable improvements made in their condition this year.

The Minister is giving me the impression that Cabinet meetings do not take place and that is a serious matter.
