I also endeavoured to raise by Private Notice Question——

My reply to Deputy Leonard also applies to Deputy Brady.

I am entitled to request at least that the subject be raised on the Adjournment. That is my purpose in being here today. In view of the fact that rabies has reached the outer western European boundaries I want to bring up the subject that the chances are that it will reach this country very shortly. I want to ask the Minister who, I am glad to see, is here today——

You cannot ask the Minister.

May I raise that subject matter on the Adjournment?

The Chair will communicate with Deputy Brady. I have requests for about 15 different matters on the Adjournment.

Even if you have 150 subjects it would not dilute the effort I am making to raise this now.

If I had 150 I could not allow them all this evening.

I appreciate that, but to say that you have just 15 subjects——

I was making the Deputy aware that there is no certainty that his would be allowed.

I am prepared to raise it tomorrow or on Friday if necessary.
