Dún Laoghaire): With your agreement we would like item No. 5 to be taken after the motion we are discussing now, so that the Order of Business will be 5, 1, 4, 16.
Business of Dáil.
In view of a report in the media emanating from Brussels concerning the future of Lirelle Limited, Letter-kenny, and the fact that 400 jobs are in jeopardy because of EEC opposition to State aid being given to modernise——
I cannot allow a speech.
I am giving the reasons why I wish to raise it on the Adjournment.
If the Deputy wants to raise it on the Adjournment I will hear him on that but I have consistently refused to hear speeches however short.
I was only giving the reasons. I did not know I was out of order. I tried to raise the matter by way of Private Notice Question and I am now giving notice that I propose to raise the matter on the Adjournment.
The Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
How does the Chair know what I wish to raise on the Adjournment if you do not allow me——
The Deputy told me it was the subject matter of a Private Notice Question which I have before me.
I should like to raise on the Adjournment the subject matter of Question No. 266 on the Order Paper.
The Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
I should like to know why the Minister for Education refused to accept a Private Notice Question asking if she would approve——
The Deputy may come to my office and discuss that. The Chair ruled that question out of order.
It was to seek tenders for a new vocational school in Kerry where it is urgently required.
If the Deputy wishes to have a chat with me about it he will be welcome.
I wish to raise this matter on the Adjournment.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
I wish to raise on the Adjournment the question of the Department of the Environment refusing to give grants to housing applicants on the basis of information retained on the files of local authorities which is sometimes erroneous and which is the subject matter of Question No. 297.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
