With your permission I would like to raise a matter of major importance on the Adjournment. Over the last four weeks in the town of Tuam and other towns throughout my constituency there has appeared on Posts and Telegraphs vans political party stickers of the Labour Party.

Does the Deputy wish to raise something on the Adjournment?

I tried to ask a question about this on one occasion and it was refused. I tried on a second occasion to raise another question on this matter in the House but it was refused.

It was explained to the Deputy why it was refused. Does the Deputy wish to raise something on the Adjournment?

I have evidence here in the form of a photograph which shows that the van was driven by the president of the Irish Post Office Engineering Union. It might enlighten the country as well as the House——

Order. Deputies should realise that the Chair will not tolerate any more of this abuse which is creeping in of using the pretence of raising matters on the Adjournment to get making speeches.

I am not pretending.

I will communicate with the Deputy during the day.

I used every means in may power to raise this matter and I was stopped. I want to raise the matter on the Adjournment so that I can explain not only to the House but to the whole country what is going on.

If the Deputy wishes to give notice that he wishes to raise something on the Adjournment he need only give a short notice and I will communicate with him during the day. It is not necessary to make a speech.

The remaining Questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
