Would the Taoiseach agree as to the necessity for there being as much incentive as possible for job creation so far as State and semi-State bodies are concerned? Did he inform the chairmen of his intention not to honour the national understanding so far as they were concerned?

I am not clear as to the implications of the Deputy's question.

The Devlin Report was covered by the national understanding.

That is a separate question.

The second phase of Devlin was applicable to chief executives, not to chairmen.

Both groups were at the meeting.

Did the Taoiseach——

Deputy Cluskey has had seven supplementaries on one question.

——recognise this factor as being vital in terms of progress?

We must move on to the next question?

I am caught between the Deputy's question and the Chair's ruling but I have dealt fully with the Deputy's question.

The Chair must be obeyed.

One of these days the Taoiseach will have to come out of his bunker.
