Is the Minister aware that in the case of South Kerry a large area of very bad land has been left out and that this district is surrounded by far better land which was included in 1975 or 1976, and that no satisfactory explanation was ever given as to why this area was excluded and the better land which surrounds it included? Further, is he aware of a review which was initiated about two or three years ago as a result of visits by officials of his Department to South Kerry and can he say what the present position is regarding that review? Also, is he aware of the case that can be made to have the entire constituency included, having regard to what I have said?

I could not possible answer such a detailed question. Who knows, Deputy O'Leary's area might be lucky on this occasion. The question is far too detailed.

Is the Minister telling this House that he has not sufficient information in his brief to answer my supplementaries to Question No. 19, which are reasonable?

Certainly I have not. I would need a volume in front of me. If I had the information in front of me, obviously I could not divulge it to the Deputy.

This is most unsatisfactory. I have Question No. 19 on the Order Paper to the Minister and he admits now that he has not sufficient information in his brief to enable him to reply to a few simple supplementary questions.

This information is highly confidential.

Will the Minister say in respect of South Kerry whether the review is taking place on the basis of townlands, district electoral divisions, or the entire constituency?

For the third time, I tell the House I am basing it on the townland system.
