Ceist a 13.

On a point of order, I should like to protest at the refusal to take two of my Priority Questions which dealt with——

That is not a point of order.

I should like to put on the record my objection both to the notice I received, which did not reach my office until lunch time today, and, secondly——

Deputy Flaherty, your questions were ruled out of order for very good and cogent reasons.

I would argue that these matters were not touched on——

The Deputy had an opportunity also of submitting substitute questions and she failed to do so.

That was not made known to me——

The Deputy should know that.

It was not made known to me that it was necessary. A colleague of mine was refused that facility last week——

The Deputy is intervening in respect of priority time.

I will seek further meetings with you in relation to this matter.

The Deputy is completely out of order and if there were more than three Priority Questions today I would emphasise that more strongly. Priority Question No. 13.
