asked the Minister for Home Affairs if he had any statement to make to the Dáil respecting the military activities in Dublin during the morning and the previous night.
PRIVATE NOTICE QUESTIONS. - MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN DUBLIN.
Mr. O'HIGGINS
If it meets the Deputy, and generally would be the wish of the Dáil, I will make a statement on this matter at 7 o'clock this evening and General Mulcahy will also make a statement.
Will it be permissible to debate the statement when it is being made? Will it be possible to discuss it?
Before the Minister answers that question may I suggest that he make a statement on a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil, in order that the Dáil may be able to debate the position if required?
Mr. O'HIGGINS
Yes, I think that would be suitable.
I was, as a matter of fact, suggesting to move the adjournment of the Dáil to enable the matter to be discussed. If it is taken now that notice will be given to move the adjournment at that hour, I think that that would meet the end in view and the Minister can make his statement then.
Mr. O'HIGGINS
I will move the adjournment at 7 p.m. and will make a statement then.
