You are not restricting speech in the Dáil, are you?
It will be repeated if you like.
Might I put it that it is time to advert to a peculiarly blatant piece of insolence founded in ignorance?

A little over one-half of what it has cost everywhere else.
One shilling and ninepence will be our material cost at 35/- per ton and 18 per cent. content of starch.
