CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CONTRACTS.
Does the Minister contend that the Committee is in the same position to know whether there is a good number, or any large number, of unemployed men in the particular trades as his Department?
The question is whether the Committee will be “kept fully informed of the possible effect, in increasing unemployment in this country, of the placing of contracts abroad.” In placing any particular c...
ORDER OF BUSINESS.
On a point of order, can we have some advice from the Chair as to the position of Private Bills of this kind taking precedence of motions that may or may not be disposed of in this evening's discussio...
CIVIL SERVICE REGULATION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 1925—SECOND STAGE.

Will you confine him to a point of order?
Is that a point of order?
I wonder will the Ceann Comhairle give his judgment as to the point of order?
I take it that the point of order is not accepted. The Minister has tried to explain what Deputy Beamish intended to say, but I think that Deputy Beamish's speech was quite clear and understandable t...
The permanent needs of small farmers might well be satisfactorily dealt with by credit societies, but now you are dealing with an abnormal situation—one that involves the loss of a large number of cat...
AGRICULTURAL CREDIT SOCIETIES. - FOOD PRICES CONTROL.
Can the Minister tell us what proportion the cost of labour bears to the total cost of bread, boots or clothing?
