Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gaeltarra Eireann Agents.

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if he will state the names of Gaeltarra Eireann's agents for linen and knitwear in the City and County of Dublin, and in the Counties of Cork, Meath and Wicklow on (a) the 1st March, 1957, (b) 1st April, 1957, and (c) the 1st May, 1957.

Aire na Gaeltachta (Seán Ó Loingsigh)

Bé an tUasal J. J. Dain an gníomhaire i gContae Chorcaighe ar na dátaí a luaitear. I geás Cathair agus Contae Átha Cliath agus Contaethe na Midhe agus Chille Manntáin, bé an tUasal Pádraig Ó Dubhlaoich an gníomhaire ar 1 Márta agus 1 Bealtaine agus bé an tUasal Carthach Ó hEaluighthe an gníomhaire ar 1 Aibreán.

Would the Minister give the House the reason for the changes?

The Deputy himself as Minister made the decision and it was written on one of his files.

Does the Minister refuse to give me the information I require?

Tugadh an freagra i nGaeilge agus tuigeann an Teachta Gaeilge.

On a point of order, a Cheann Comhairle, I would like you to give a ruling on this point. When a Deputy asks a question in English, is it not within the ordinary rules of procedure that the question should be answered in English, and, if a Deputy asks a question in Irish, that the reply should be in Irish?

That is not a question; the Deputy is making a speech. Irish and English are the official languages.

This is bringing the Irish language into disrepute.

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if he will state the amount of commission paid to Gaeltarra Éireann agents within the State, setting out the amount paid to each agent in (a) 1952, (b) 1953, (c) 1954, (d) 1955, and (e) 1956.

Ós i bhfoirm táible atá an freagra seo tá beartaithe agam, led do chead-sa, a Cheann Chomhairle, é a chur sa timpeall leis an Tuairisc Oifigiúil.

Seo leanas an t-eolas a hiarradh:—
