The Irish tyre wholesalers and retailers have to attend the Dáil today to brief Members of the Oireachtas-----

That is very interesting. Maybe the Deputy can have a chat with them afterwards.

-----because the Minister, Deputy Kelly, is setting up another quango - a monopoly - at a cost of €75 million.

The Deputy does not seem to have heard me. This is about promised legislation.

The Ceann Comhairle will know about this when he goes to get his tyres changed.

The Deputy does not need to worry about my tyres

When he goes in for a set of tyres, it will add at least €14 to the cost.

Will the Deputy stop messing or I will not call him again?

I am not messing.

Many other Deputies are waiting to speak.

Put him out.

Deputy Mattie McGrath should be fair.

I am saying that the Taoiseach should stand up to the Minister, Deputy Kelly, regarding this quango.

I ask the Deputy to sit down.

The Minister, Deputy Noonan, has stood up to him already. Maybe the Taoiseach should do likewise.

Deputy Mattie McGrath ran away when he was in government.

I did not run away.

I call Deputy Mathews.

Can I get an answer?

No. I suggest the Deputy should put down a parliamentary question. This is about promised legislation.

Deputy Mattie McGrath could not take the heat at all.

Deputy Buttimer is wrong.
