Might I be allowed to ask the Minister——

Is this the way the Minister is going to treat Question Time?

(Cavan-Monaghan): I did not hear the answer to the last question.

It is not my fault if Deputy Harte does not allow people to hear.

I am entitled to ask a supplementary. It is very bad manners for the Minister to continue talking.

The Chair has already called Question No. 36.

(Cavan-Monaghan): On a point of order, it is the Chair's business to get order and he will not create order by advising the Minister to join in this ruaille buaille by asking the Minister to answer a question during the disorder.

The Chair is asking the Minister to answer Question No. 36.

I was about to ask the Minister what percentage of the electricity increases is directly due to the oil imports?

The Chair has asked the Minister to answer Question No. 36.

I have no way of assessing the cost of electricity in relation to the overall price of oil or in relation to the increased price of oil.

How much of the 20.5 per cent is due to the increased cost of oil?
