Question No. 54 not taken

Summary

Question No. 54 was not taken because Deputy Allen was absent; the Chair ruled that Standing Order 41 did not allow Deputy Kenny to substitute for him.

We must proceed to Question No. 54 to the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation. As Deputy Bernard Allen is not present, the question cannot be taken. We will proceed to Question No. 55.

On a point of order, Sir, Deputy Allen is sick today and Deputy Kenny will take questions on his behalf. He may have been delayed.

Standing Order 41 does not permit a substitute at this stage. Unfortunately, the questions in Deputy Allen's name cannot be taken.
