Is maith liom insint don Dáil, mar eolas, go ndearnas, mar shocrú sealadach, an Roinn Talmhaíochta a shannadh do Phroinsias Mac Aogáin, comhalta den Rialtas agus Aire Gnóthaí Eachtracha. Tá súil agam go mbeimíd i ndon an áit a líonadh go seasamhach faoi cheann seachtaine.
I should, perhaps, state for the benefit of those who did not understand what I have just said that I have assigned temporarily the Department of Agriculture to Proinsias Mac Aogáin, a Member of the Government, the Minister for External Affairs. I hope to see that the position is filled definitely within a week.
