A Cheann Comhairle, b'áil liom cead a chur in iúl, mar eolas don Dáil, go bhfuil an Rialtas ar an 10ú lá d'Iúil, 1981, ar m'ainmniú, tar éis an Teachta Pádraig Ó hAirt a cheapadh mar Aire Stáit ag an Roinn Poist agus Telegrafa.
I beg leave to announce, for the information of the Dáil, that on my recommendation the Government, on 10 July 1981, appointed Deputy Patrick D. Harte to be Minister of State at the Department of Posts and Telegraphs.
