I move that the Dáil adjourn until the 22nd April.
The Adjournment.
Might I ask whether the President would be prepared to give Government time for the discussion of the motion standing in my name on the Order Paper? It has been there for a considerable time. The Minister for Local Government may sneer——
A considerable time elapsed before the motion was put on the Order Paper.
That is no justification for not providing an opportunity to discuss it now. You have a Commissioner down there who is costing a considerable amount. As well as that, you have a member of your Party deprived of the chairmanship of the county council——
It is not permissible to make a speech on the subject now.
I am merely giving reasons why the President should consider this an urgent matter and allow some Government time for consideration of it.
I think it would be rather a pity to afford an early opportunity for discussing the motion because we might not then have the pleasure of seeing the Deputy so often. I propose, if possible, to give some time to the discussion of the motion when consideration of the Estimates will have been completed.
The Dáil adjourned at 2 p.m. until Wednesday, 22nd April, at 3 p.m.
