Vol. 5 No. 12

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - FUTURE LEGISLATION.—METHOD OF ACQUAINTING DEPUTIES.

asked the President if it is the accepted policy of the Executive Council to acquaint Deputies of the proposed future course of legislation through the Publicity Department and the public Press rather than by statement in the legislative chamber?

(replying for the President): I do not know exactly what is in the Deputy's mind. The general lines of legislation were indicated to the Oireachtas in the Governor-General's speech.

The Deputy will realise, of course, that Press forecasts are sometimes accurate and sometimes misleading, and that it is on occasion necessary to take immediate steps to correct erroneous statements.
