Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Allocation of Paraffin to Farmers.
I have given full consideration to the question of making special provision for the lighting requirements of the farming community, but I regret that owing to the very limited supplies of kerosene ava...
I am fully aware that the supply of kerosene available for the farming community is insufficient for their needs. The fact is, however, that we have no more to give them. It will be possible, I think...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Reorganisation of Great Southern Railways Company.
The information available to me does not indicate that Stock Exchange transactions in the stocks of the Great Southern Railways Company before or subsequent to October 20th were either extensive or ab...
I think the Deputy has a question to the effect of his supplementary to-day on the Order Paper for to-morrow, and I will answer to-morrow. I think, however, the facts I have given to the House show t...
I have given the facts.
I think I have given sufficient facts to-day to allay any alarm.
It is obvious from the figures I have given that the percentage of the total stocks of the Great Southern Railways Company that come on the market at all is infinitesimal. In such circumstances, it is...
I am aware that there was in no period of this year any volume of transactions in the shares of the company either in respect of the number of transactions or the value of the shares concerned which w...
I propose to answer Questions Nos. 3 and 4 together. The Great Southern Railways Company has not yet submitted to the Government its proposals for capital reconstruction. I am not therefore in a posi...
The Deputy's question is a misleading one. The directors of the Great Southern Railways Company have circulated to their shareholders certain proposals which they intend to submit to the Government....
As I explained, the intention of the Great Southern Railways Company in publishing that circular to their shareholders was to give the holders of their stocks the earliest possible intimation of what ...
The Government will be responsible for any scheme that will be submitted to the Dáil.
The Great Southern Railways Board has been at pains to make the full facts available to their shareholders. At the earliest possible date they published the details of their proposals. As soon as th...
Reorganisation of what?
I do not think we can deal with this by way of question and answer. The chairman of the Great Southern Railways Company was appointed by the Government. He was appointed by the Government with a spe...
I am not going to give that type of reply as it would be misleading. The position of the Great Southern Railways Company is under constant discussion between myself, the officers of my Department and...
From the day he was appointed. What does the Deputy think he was appointed for?
The Deputy should read the Report of the Transport Tribunal.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Workmen's Compensation Payments.
I would refer the Deputy to the answer I gave to a similar question on the 21st ultimo.
No.
Order of Business.
It is proposed to take the order of business, as on the Order Paper: Nos. 1, 5, 6, and then Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
It is possible that it will be taken to-morrow, but, if not, early next week.
Through the Dáil, yes.
A great deal will depend on the progress of business to-day. I hope to get the Second Stage of the Children's Allowances Bill through at an early stage because, as I am sure Deputies will realise, it...
Yes, we hope so.
