Dáil

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers.

I have no desire to be contentious but I wish to clarify a point. I put down a number of priority questions which were disallowed for various reasons. The fact that there are two priority questions only from my party today should not be taken as an indication of our input to Question Time or of our concern about tourism and trade matters.

Perhaps Deputy Andrew's legitimate query could be dealt with under the proposals for Dáil reform which are under consideration.
