Vol. 313 No. 9

Broadcasting and Wireless Telegraphy Bill, 1979: Order for Second Stage.

I move: "That the Second Stage be ordered for Tuesday, 1 May 1979".

Is that agreed?

(Cavan-Monaghan): This is more important.

It is not a question of what is more important. It is a question of what is in order or relevant.

(Interruptions.)

I appeal to Deputies to please observe the order of the House. Item No. 6.

The post office dispute is being forgotten by the Government.

Is the Taoiseach going to allow a debate on this matter?

Order. This matter has been ruled out of order but the Deputy insists on raising it. I am not allowing any further discussion on it.

Are we in order in pressing for an urgent debate on this important matter?

Is Item No. 1 agreed?

(Cavan-Monaghan): It is not.

Will Deputy Mitchell please resume his seat?

I am asking if the Taoiseach will allow a debate on this matter.

If the Deputy does not resume his seat I will have to ask the Taoiseach to name him.

I have no wish to be named but I am anxious to have a debate on this matter.

Will the Deputy please obey the Chair?

On a point of order, we have for five weeks pressed for a debate on this matter and we have been told by the Taoiseach that we will have it next week.

That is not a point of order. This is bringing the House into ridicule.

(Interruptions.)
Debate adjourned.
