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...
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.

Does the Minister agree with the interpretation of his amendment put forward by the Deputy?
I have addressed Deputy Flynn through the Chair.
I was very careful to put my question to Deputy Flynn through the Chair.
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...
Does he accept the statement that amendment No. 84 enables him to take in from county to county?
I thought not. It is quite clear it does not. Therefore, the point Deputy Flynn made is not met by the Minister's amendment. I was extremely surprised at the tone, the spirit, that was thrown into th...
