There are a number of questions down to the Minister for Defence and, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, I am calling on the Deputies to read the questions in the order in which they were handed into the office. Deputy McGinley tabled two questions on Private Notice, one addressed to the Minister for Defence and the second to the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry which latter was subsequently transferred to the Minister for Defence. I have allowed both these questions.
Deputy P. Gallagher tabled two questions on Private Notice, one addressed to the Minister for Defence and the second to the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry which latter was subsequently transferred to the Minister for Defence. I have allowed both questions and I propose now asking that the questions be read before the Minister is called upon.
