In view of the very unsatisfactory answer given by the Minister for Lands to Question No. 15, I propose, with your permission, to raise this matter on the Adjournment to-night or the next available night.
The matter will be considered.
Would it be too much to ask the people responsible for fixing the business for next week if they could arrange that the House should meet on Thursday at 10 a.m. and adjourn at 5 p.m. so as to give country Deputies an opportunity of being at home for the holiday?
May I ask the Taoiseach if it would be possible to allow time for discussion of Private Deputies' Motion No. 27 on List No. 8 early next week?
We are giving it to you to-night.
I understand that the Taoiseach, by leave of the House, wants to make a statement on Economic Co-operation Administration funds.
