I want to ask the Minister——

If the parish priest, in the form of the spokesman, is to come in with the curate on each question we will make very little progress.

As the spokesman for Industry and Energy I am entitled to express my views or to make helpful suggestions in the area of industrial development.

If the Deputy will bear with me for a moment, it does not matter to me, but the House will have to make up its mind whether it will get through a reasonable number of questions, say 30, in an hour or whether it is only six or seven.

With all due respect, it is very important that we explore every possible avenue of employment. I am not here to delay the House but could I ask the Minister if he would consider the area of the Inishowen Peninsula and that part of Donegal in conjunction with the hinterland of Derry city where there is also an extremely high unemployment rate? Would he consider setting up a tax free industrial zone in that area because it is very difficult to attract industry there? He would be doing a lot for cross-Border relations if he brought worthwhile industrial development into that area. Would he consider approaching the EEC for help in that regard?

Taxation is a matter for the Minister for Finance.
