On a point of order, a Cheann Comhairle, may I draw your attention to the fact that the Minister for Industry and Commerce, like every other Minister, comes into the House once every few weeks? There were 50 questions down to the Minister today of which four only have been answered.

That is hardly a point of order, Deputy Keating.

It is, if you will bear with me for a few moments; I have not delayed the House too long today. Four of those questions have been answered, not one from a party spokesperson. I am suggesting, with respect, a Cheann Comhairle, that the system of Question Time we now have is a farce if that is the position and I would ask you to have raised at the Committee on Procedure and Privileges changes in that system. May I also appeal to you to apply the same standards of discipline——

Members can take the initiative in regard to such matters themselves or through their appropriate representative on that committee.

But it also depends on you, a Cheann Comhairle, to maintain discipline in this House.

Question No. 58, please.

To have four questions answered once every three or four weeks is not adequate in the area of industry and commerce.

I am calling Question No. 58.
