This matter is under consideration.
Would the Minister say for how long this matter is under consideration?
For some months.
Does the Minister not recall a promise he made to me in the House about a month or two ago that he would give a decision in two or three weeks?
The Tánaiste was sitting in for me on that occasion.
This is a relatively small amount of money. Surely the Minister can make up his mind quickly?

With whom?
With the Minister for Finance.
For how much? What grant is being applied for?
That is an internal matter.
What grant is being applied for? There is a big discussion between the Minister for Transport and Power and the Minister for Finance over a miserable £3,000.
The Deputy will be told in due course.
