I should like to apologise to the Minister for Question No. 1 appearing on the Order Paper again today. In deference to the request of Deputy B. Desmond, who said that he did not hear the reply in the turmoil yesterday, I am reluctantly compelled to have it repeated. Would the Minister mind answering it again?

In deference to the Chair, I will do so. But, of course, if the Deputy had that difficulty, the turmoil did not come from this side of the House.

Thank you very much.

The Minister is as graceful as ever.

I am doing so in deference to the Chair and not otherwise. I am pointing out that the question has been answered and appears on the record of the House. I assume that this is the first time the same question has been answered twice.
