I wish to ask why the Minister of State——
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers.
We had better get on. Questions are called and taken for the first hour, and nothing else.
I appreciate why the Minister for Foreign Affairs is not here but may I ask the Minister for Defence why the Junior Minister in the Department of Foreign Affairs is not present?
Because he is away.
Is he on official business?
In which country?
He is doing his job.
