asked the Taoiseach whether he is aware that, as evidenced by published reports of a meeting in Kilkenny on the 13th instant, there appears to have been a breach of the principle of the inviolability of Cabinet proceedings in relation to the decision to provide £1,000,000 for the relief of unemployment and, if so, if he will make a statement on the matter.

The suggestion contained in the Deputy's question is unfounded, and the answer to both parts of the question is, therefore, in the negative.

Do I gather that Deputy MacEntee was talking about courtesy and discourtesy?
