The remaining questions will appear on the Order Paper for Tuesday next. Estimates for 1984, Vote No. 28 (resumed).

I should like again to point out the danger to the Irish fishermen because of the presence of British, American and——

If the Deputy has a request to make he should make it.

I am making it — because of the presence of British, American and Soviet nuclear submarines in the Irish Sea, more particularly because of an incident which took place on Friday last when an American nuclear submarine——

I am not going to have a speech from Deputy Byrne or any other Deputy under this or any other subterfuge.

There was another incident today when an Irish skipper lost ten thousand pounds worth of equipment. That makes it sufficiently urgent to ask you, Sir, at least to be allowed raise this on the Adjournment this evening.

My attention has been drawn to the fact that it is past the time now.

Because of its urgency, a Cheann Comhairle,——

Look, there is no way——

This has not been taken seriously in this House.

There is no way the Chair can accommodate a Deputy who wants to ask another supplementary after Question Time is over or can accommodate a Deputy who raps him on the knuckles publicly here for accepting a request like this after time. It just cannot be done.

I am asking you, Sir, to allow me raise it on the Adjournment.

I will take advice on the matter. I am informed it is after time. I am calling on Deputy Durkan.

A Cheann Comhairle, I respect your ruling and your right to rule but surley if Question Time did not finish until 3.32 p.m. and if we presume that a number of people rose to raise various matters, it would still be 3.35 p.m. or more——

These matters could have been notified or raised any time since 10.30 this morning.

It relates to an incident that occurred during the day.

This incident has been reported only now and, because it is so serious, I think you must take it seriously, Sir.

I will consider the matter and communicate with Deputy H. Byrne.
