How many members have been appointed to the Nuclear Energy Board?

That seems to be a separate question.

It is not if the questions are to ask what the Nuclear Energy Board did. I am asking if there is a Nuclear Energy Board?

Yes, there is.

With how many members?

I am ruling that that is another question.

The Deputy can put down a question on that if he likes.

Can I ask the Minister of State how the Nuclear Energy Board can carry out the functions that are referred to in Questions Nos. 18 and 19 if the board do not exist?

That seems to be another question altogether.

It is a very relevant question.

It may be, but it is not relevant to the questions on the Order Paper.

How many members of the Nuclear Energy Board were fired?

That is not a relevant question in relation to the questions on the Order Paper. The Deputy can put down a question on that.

On a point of information——

There is no point of information.

——none of the members of the Nuclear Energy Board was fired. I would like to state that such a remark is not in the best interests of parliament.

The reply is out of order.

I would also like to state that the members have been reappointed to the board.

All of them?

Yes.

Why was there an interval of four months?
