May I make a personal explanation in connection with the statement made by the President in answer to the first question on the Paper to-day. The President was asked to give the names of Members of the Dáil who are employed in the paid service of the State and he mentioned my name because I happened to be a Member of the Postal Commission and he said there were fees paid for that. I would like to point out that I do not take these fees or expenses paid to me as a Member of the Postal Commission as a reward for services. I mention this because otherwise there might be a mis-conception that I was in the paid service of the State; I am not.
