The Minister in replying to the supplementary gave no clear indication of when he was going to give representation on the Western Health Board to the County Borough of Galway.

I have already said that is a separate question.

Can the Minister say why he is delaying making this decision?

I refuse to permit irrelevancies of this kind.

The Deputy should put down a question on that matter. I call Question No. 9.

The question has been put down——

Question No. 9 has been called.

I wish to give notice of my intention to raise this matter on the Adjournment tonight.

I will communicate with the Deputy.

The Western Health Board——

This question asks what plans the Minister may have to reduce the number of health boards, full stop.

The Minister continues to deny representation to Galway city.
