I always listen with great attention to any contribution made in this House by Deputy Dr. Hennessy, but I fail to see what encouragement there is in this Bill to induce business men to enter the propo...
Private Deputies' Business. - Saorstát Milling Industry.
I move:— “That the Dáil is of opinion that steps should be taken by the Executive Council to frame a scheme of national control which will provide adequate safeguards for the Saorstát milling industry...
I want to be allowed to develop my argument without interference from anybody. I want to say that it seems rather out of place, to say the least of it, for any member of the Government Party to sugge...
It is beyond your mentality. We all know Deputy Gorey.

Yes.
I have stated it.
No.
If the Government were in earnest it could be done.

You have it in your Department.
I did not introduce the question at all.
I knew the Minister would take advantage of that.
I suggest that the Minister should deal with the motion.
I have not mentioned wheat.
It is not in the motion.
