Mr. Boland
Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that it is six years ago since an ex-Deputy—Deputy Finlay—was informed by the Minister at the time that this question was receiving consideration. I have raised the matter on at least three occasions since I came into the Dáil. Could the Minister say if there is any prospect of having it done before the spring?
No.
Mr. Boland
When will it be done?
I cannot say. Resumption proceedings are very slow.
