Pigs and Bacon Bill, 1934—Report Stage (Resumed).

May I make a suggestion? I have tried to pick up the fundamentals in this matter. I think it is a pity that this question was not submitted to Committee procedure, and I think that is responsible f...More Button

I admit that. On the Report Stage Deputies have not the right to reply and the Minister will not have a right to reply later on. I think that is responsible for the interruptions.More Button

I take it that it does not matter which amendment we divide on, but we are not committed to the words of any particular amendment.More Button

You cannot get that unless you have a new board.More Button

I am very glad that Deputy Keyes has made that speech because it was precisely that point which struck me, having listened to the debate. It is really a question of creating confidence. I think that...More Button

Does the Minister agree with the interpretation of his amendment put forward by the Deputy?More Button

I have addressed Deputy Flynn through the Chair.More Button

I was very careful to put my question to Deputy Flynn through the Chair.More Button

Perhaps the Deputy would keep quiet for a moment. A very serious question was raised by Deputy Flynn with reference to the cost of production of feeding stuffs, and he mentioned that it varies from co...More Button

Does he accept the statement that amendment No. 84 enables him to take in from county to county?More Button
