Funding for St. Martha’s College

Summary

After the Ceann Comhairle declined to discuss a rejected Private Notice Question, Farrelly sought an adjournment debate on the Agriculture Minister’s failure to provide ACOT with sufficient funds to take over St. Martha’s College in Navan. The Chair said the question had been allowed but not selected, and would communicate with him.

I am making a ruling now. I am not giving any answers as to why I am disallowing questions. You have the right to come to my office to discuss it.

I am not giving you an answer. It was ruled out before. Will you kindly resume your seat?

I would like to raise on the adjournment why the Minister for Agriculture has failed to make sufficient moneys available to ACOT for the taking over of St. Martha's College in Navan.

I would appreciate it if it is not put on the long finger as it was last month.

Your question was allowed but it was not selected and you did not attempt to raise it again. However, I will certainly take that into account. The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
