andMr. Ryan asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the funds allocated under the Funds of Suitors Act to the Abbey Theatre the date or dates on which any money was paid over to the Theatre, the amounts thereof, and the purpose for which the money was given.

I did not hear what the Minister said.
A tabular statement.
A tabular statement for just one sum of money?
No, there are a whole lot of them; several, in fact.
Would the Minister read them out, please?
The Deputy will have them after Christmas.
The Minister is trying to hide this.
Not at all.
