I gave notice to raise a matter on the adjournment, and I decided, at the request of the Minister for Finance, to postpone the matter until there was a further answer on Friday. I had not noticed at the time that the supplementary question I put was really the original question, so there is no reason why the answer should not be given now. I do not know how far the orders which you administer so justly permit of my putting down as another question what has already appeared as a question and has not been answered. If you look at the second part of my question you will see that is the supplementary question I put.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION (TRAWLERS.)
The supplementary question asked whether orders were given to fit trawlers with electrical machinery, and whether those orders were subsequently countermanded, which adds some new matter.
The last four or five words.
If the Minister asks for time to answer the last part of the question on the Paper to-day, with the addition made by the Deputy, it would be in order to have that question appearing on the paper in the circumstances.
In that case I am quite content, if you will take notice of that question for Friday.
