As a matter of personal explanation, I want to read an extract from the Dáil Reports. Yesterday evening Deputy McGilligan asked me either to quote a statement that I made across the House or to withdraw it. I am just quoting from the Dáil Reports, Volume 9. Deputy McGilligan, speaking in the Dáil, said, at column 563:
"...I can only answer that it is no function of the Government to provide work for anybody."
And at column 562:
"There are certain limited funds at our disposal. People may have to die in this country and may have to die through starvation."
