Would it not be possible to read this out? Is it very lengthy?
I have requested permission of the Ceann Comhairle to circulate it and I do not think it is usual in those circumstances to read the statement.
It is a good way of covering up.
I am asking the Ceann Comhairle would he consider having the Parliamentary Secretary read it out?
It is a fair question.
I have already asked the permission of the Ceann Comhairle to circulate it.
I am asking too.
