I have to inform the House that a report has been received showing the audited accounts for the year 1927 of the Oireachtas Restaurant, and the House will be pleased to know that it shows a surplus of £11 8s. 9d. on the year's working. That is the largest surplus since it was started, so that we may congratulate ourselves. Last year there was a deficit of £538.

Does not the surplus arise owing to a grant from the Government?

I should think that it might be connected with the extraordinary wetness of the season.
