In Committee on Finance. - Vote No. 56—Industry and Commerce (Resumed).
They gave him a good selection.
In Committee on Finance. - Motion for Late Sitting.
It seems to me it would be far more honest if the Vice-President, instead of calling upon the House to sit for 48 hours, would simply move the closure. That is in reality what the Minister is doing, ...
It is the old closure system which is being carried out, and I have no doubt Deputy Victory will leap from his slumbers at the proper time and come dashing in here to vote. He does not like to have su...
Why does the Vice-President say that it is of vital importance to get through the Estimates before the Recess? There is no importance about it at all.
They must not. The discussion of the Estimates last year lasted into November and December. There is no reason why that should not be done this year. Deputy Lynch and Deputy Fitzgerald-Kenney have s...
In Committee on Finance. - Vote 56—Industry and Commerce (Resumed).
We are now about to embark on a 48 hours discussion of these Estimates and it has puzzled the minds of some as to why we are going to do it. The more I consider these Estimates, the more evident it b...
I understood we were permitted to discuss the administration of the Department.
I respectfully submit that the Minister for Industry and Commerce was concerned to assure this House that if any complaints were made to him, as to the invidious selection of any one employed on relie...
He has the administration.
It is astonishing how he makes provision to make them flow in the right direction when the elections are on.
No.
To a Deputy who publicly advises impersonation that is corruption. I do not think there is any corruption in connection with what the Minister did, astuteness, perhaps skill, but not corruption. All ...
So much for unemployment. I want to refer again to what I consider to be a very grave scandal in connection with the administration of the Department of Industry and Commerce. I referred to it on two...
I have already placed the facts in the Minister's hands, and it is quite probable that Deputy Brady is as well able to put these facts in the Minister's hands as I am. This gentleman does not live 10...
When I had something to say about lobster breeding, the Deputy's only contribution was that my statement was not right. I repeat the charge. Every syllable that I utter now I challenge the Minister ...
I will substantiate the charges, but it is not in accordance with the well-established precedent of this House to mention the names of an individual, because the person is not here to defend himself. ...
The Seanad has passed it.
Subject to certain reservations.
I do not for a moment desire to avoid your ruling, but it is the declared policy of the Government to sponsor the manufacture of cement in this country. I think I will be in order if I say that in sp...
That is precisely my position. I am not trying to wriggle out of your ruling but the Minister and the Acting-Minister have stated repeatedly that it is the policy of their Party to take such steps as...
If it is the purpose of the Government to create a monopoly of the manufacture of cement without providing that the consuming public will have cement of a sufficiently high specification at a reasonab...
The Acting-Minister for Industry and Commerce says that the increased cost will be infinitesimal. Without the slightest desire to answer the Minister abruptly, I tell him that he is talking through hi...
The trouble with this situation is that it is a question of one “think” against another “think.” If I had any reason to believe that the Minister's thoughts were founded upon substantial facts, I woul...
The Acting-Minister went on to add that he begged to be excused from the necessity of making a specification for the cement that would be imported between the date of the passing of the Bill and the e...
That accounts for the Minister's complacency; he looks happy and undismayed. Perhaps if he knew as much about that transaction as I do, wrinkles would appear on his brow. I suggest he should have a ...
I do not want to shock the Deputy too much. His neighbour, when I proceeded to tell him what was happening in Donegal, nearly fainted away.
The Deputy said I do not know what is happening there. At least, what I do know, I communicate to this House. The Deputy's colleague, Deputy Neil Blaney, was recently described by “Truth in the News...
I will leave it to the Minister for Industry and Commerce to tell Deputy Kelly all about the wheat transaction and, I would recommend Deputy Kelly, if he wants to spare his colleague embarrassment and...
I am going to spare the Deputy from himself; I will ask him merely to take a note of it. In my opinion the dominant question that arises under this head is that referred to by Deputy Mulcahy, and tha...
