I should like to ask the Taoiseach a question.

We have gone to the next question, I am sorry.

I want to ask a question relevant to the west of Ireland.

Chair.

Deputy Loughnane is entitled to ask a supplementary question.

Is the Deputy now the Ceann Comhairle?

I have given a lot of time to supplementary questions on Question No. 2 and I should like the Taoiseach to answer Question No. 3.

I should like to raise a point of order.

As a Member from the west of Ireland I demand to ask a supplementary question.

I have moved to Question No. 3, I am sorry, particularly for Deputy Loughnane.

On a point of order, Deputy Loughnane was offering but, through no fault of the Chair, he was not seen. Is it proper that the Chair should deny him the opportunity to ask a supplementary question?

We had gone to Question No. 3. While I have the greatest sympathy with Deputy Loughnane we must move on.

I hope we will at least have some Ministers in the west for the Galway Races.

I have to ask Deputy Loughnane to permit the House to move on. I am sorry I must do this to Deputy Loughnane.

I demand my rights as a west of Ireland Deputy to ask supplementaries.

We have moved to Question No. 3 and if the Deputy continues I will have to say he is disorderly. We have gone to Question No. 3. I am sorry about this but the Deputy is persisting.

I am sorry for the Fine Gael people in the west of Ireland because they do not have a Minister to speak on their behalf.

The Deputy should resume his seat; he is being disorderly.
