asked the Taoiseach the percentage increase in the consumer price index in the two-year period between the last quarter of 1978 and the last quarter of 1980.

The percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index in the two-year period between mid-November 1978 and mid-November 1980 was 37.1 per cent.

Shame. Resign.

Would the Deputy like me to give the figure for 1976?

Will the Minister of State indicate the planned inflation rate in the manifesto for those two years?

Give us the manifesto figures for 1977?

Deputy Haughey was in office all those years, the financial mastermind.

Order, please.

I am asking a supplementary question.

I am asking for order.

Could the Minister of State indicate the manifesto estimated or suggested percentage increase in the same period?

I am giving factual figures here.

I accept that. Next question.

Factual in respect of 1976 which was much higher than this.

The Minister of State has said enough already.

I am giving the facts all the time.

Deputy Miss de Valera's fairy tales.
