Are the special arrangements for taking the order of today's business and a division on the Estimate, should it arise, agreed to? Agreed.

I would remind Members that the postponed division on the Estimate for Fisheries and Forestry will be taken at 8.30 p.m. tonight.

On the Order of Business, may I ask the Taoiseach, or the Minister for Finance, or the Minister for Industry, Trade, Commerce and Tourism — as they are all here — if, in view of the decision to place a receiver in Irish Leathers last week, he will try to get a stay of execution on any action pending a full investigation into the operation of the three plants? There was a suggestion last week that there had been a loss of £1.5 million in Portlaw and the workforce totally refute that.

I am sorry, Deputy Ormonde. I cannot allow that on the Order of Business.

You may not allow it, but the livelihood of not a factory but an entire town is dependent on this.

I cannot allow it. I shall communicate with Deputy Ormonde.

I am seeking to raise on the Adjournment the continuous long delays in the hearing of High Court cases in Cork, despite the recent appointment by the Minister for Justice of a third High Court judge there. Also, I wish to raise the accusation made by Justice Gannon——

I shall communicate with Deputy Allen. I cannot allow a speech, Deputy.

Also, the accusation made by Justice Gannon in the High Court——

I cannot allow a speech.

I am just telling you that I want to raise on the Adjournment——

You are giving the reasons; you are making a case.

The Deputy need not raise the matter on the Adjournment. He has made his speech.

I shall communicate with Deputy Allen.

Could I ask a question, which was not allowed yesterday, on the restricted nature of the payment of grants held over from 1983 with regard to farm development?

I shall communicate with the Deputy.
