Sugar (Control of Imports) Bill, 1936—Second Stage.

I hope that we will be allowed to reply to Deputy Dillon. That is all we want.More Button

Keep at it. We will soon have you in the asylum.More Button

I wish I could put a tax on blatherers.More Button

This amazing genius over there who has spent the last two hours on this job has charged his leader, Deputy Cosgrave, with being insane. I really do not know by what cuckoo means he succeeded in getti...More Button

We will come to that.More Button

We were told that the Labour Party fell into a trap, and that Deputy Corry fell into a trap. Who were the people who did fall into the trap? The deluded Blueshirts of Cork County, who, on the advice...More Button

I am dealing, a Leas Chinn Comhairle, with the charge that was made here about this trap, and I am dealing with the price—about which we have heard for the last two hours— that the farmer is being pai...More Button

That is just what I am dealing with.More Button

No. But what I am dealing with is the price that the farmer is getting for beet. That has been dealt with here by Deputy Mulcahy and Deputy Dillon for the last two hours.More Button

You know nothing about it anyway. Why do you want to deal with it?More Button

I know the profits do not arise. What I am dealing with is a definite statement that was made here of the actual amount of money drawn by farmers from the Sugar Company. I do not wish to deal with it...More Button

At least I am not going to take two hours to do it. There is one particular matter on which I should like to hear from the Minister in connection with this. A certain excess acreage was grown by the...More Button

I am pointing out that there should not be occasion to give these licences to the sugar company in face of the fact that the company can easily get the extra acreage grown in this country.More Button

Surely it is as relevant as some of the things that we have been listening to. If it is not, I do not know what it is.More Button

Any time Deputy Corry wishes to express an opinion he will express it and he will not be prevented by the hired thugs Deputy Mulcahy has about him.More Button

If the Minister instead of bringing in this Bill would make representations to the sugar company and get the acreage under sugar beet increased there would be no necessity for this. In that way he wo...More Button

How much went on subsidising Deputy Mulcahy's harebrained schemes for ten years? How much did he pay John Bull for the 18-pounders that he used against his comrades?More Button

Yes, as soon as Deputies conduct themselves.More Button

In the year 1931 this little country paid £976,000 to some foreigners to manufacture sugar for them, along with £250,000 in subsidies to the Carlow farmers to get them to vote for Cumann na nGaedheal ...More Button

If the people of this country are paying a lot more for sugar they are paying it to the unfortunate farmers that Deputy Mulcahy says are being ruined. The Deputy should have no objection to the farme...More Button

I suggest to Deputy Mulcahy, in all seriousness, that his action on this Vote is misrepresenting the view-point of the Deputy on other occasions. The Deputy says the farmers are ruined. But on a fam...More Button

I was informed nearly three hours ago that I would not be allowed to go into that matter. I hope to have an opportunity of discussing these matters when the Estimates come up. I hope Deputy Mulcahy ...More Button

I will tell the Deputy about that and I will tell him about the 18-pounders. As the matter stands I have very little entirely to say on this Bill.More Button

Up to the present I have been replying to irrelevant statements made here for the past three hours— things that were altogether outside this Bill. I am suggesting to the Minister a means by which he ...More Button

I see no occasion for pressing this matter further, but I hope that since there is still time this year to increase the acreage it will be increased, and I hope that we will have no occasion for havin...More Button

Yes. Blueshirt farmers cutting their labourers by 5/- a week because de Valera was in office. Do you want to hear any more about it?More Button

Committee on Finance. - Agricultural Seeds Bill, 1935—Committee.

They might get the bee out of your bonnet.More Button

Listen to what he is calling the respectable Blue Shirts all over the country!More Button
