Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Standard Spelling in Bunreacht.
In view of the fact that the Taoiseach said that the matter is in the hands of the translation staff, are we to understand that persons interested in the matter who wish to make formal representations...
In view of the fact that the matter is now left to the translation staff—and there may be something to be said for that in the present circumstances——
There is no use in protesting when the Taoiseach says so.
Something is being attempted from the Taoiseach's point of view through the translation staff. In view of the fact that the staff are not generally accessible, and with a view to inviting people to m...
Our nationalist skins must be very thin if we cannot stand publicity.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Children's and Juveniles' Clothing.
Does this arise out of control under an Emergency Powers Order?
Question No. 7 relates to the high cost of clothing.
Order of Business.
Are we going to sit to-morrow to take the Public Health Bill?
Supplementary Estimate, 1945-46—Leave to Introduce.
When will we get the Book of Estimates?
Committee on Finance. - Vote 59—Unemployment Insurance and Unemployment Assistance.
The Minister, in his original Estimate, estimated that he would get from local authorities £233,600 as a contribution to the Unemployment Assistance Fund. He now expects a deficiency of £14,600.
The Estimate has a note: anticipated deficiency on receipts from county boroughs, etc.
So the Minister anticipates that he will get £14,600 less from local authorities this year, and, if I understood his remarks correctly, he suggested a reason for that — that the local authorities had ...
It must have been an awful shock to the Minister——
——when we consider how much behind time local authorities are in paying their own workers and in making other payments.
That is, arrears which were expected to be held for a longer period.
The increased amount being sought under sub-head G would suggest an increase in employment, while the amount in sub-head G (1) would suggest an increase in unemployment. Could the Minister say whether...
Committee on Finance. - Vote 63—Army (Resumed).
In the statement which the Minister made last night, in presenting this Estimate to the House, it was quite erroneous for him to suggest that the Estimate presented at the beginning of the year was ba...
Before we pass from that, I think we should be told by the Minister whether the building of a decent barracks has any connection with a post-war defence policy.
When we get the new Army Bill, I hope the Minister will.
We expect the Minister to tell us what the post-emergency policy is.
I should like to ask the Minister is it part of the Government's post-war policy that is being implemented by the building of new barracks and the acquiring of land for which money is being asked in t...
In fairness to the Minister, may I say that I did not intend to oppose the Supplementary Estimate but if this Estimate is based on a post-war policy of an Army of 12,500 men, then I oppose this Supple...
If as part of the Minister's policy he is building new barracks in Limerick or planning to build new barracks and that he is asking money for that purpose in this Supplementary Estimate as part of a ...
He is only beginning. He has only let the cat out of the bag now.
And the adventure they want is work.
The Minister said that four months were lost between July and November, while plans were being made to deal with the enlistment of emergency men in the permanent forces. Can the Minister say what the...
Was it one of the chief difficulties that causes us to be voting £1,000,000 now, that it took the Army four months to draw up some forms?
The explanation is not very voluminous. Vote put and declared carried.
Committee on Finance. - Defence Forces (Temporary provisions) Bill, 1946—Second Stage.
Give it to him.
I thought it better to ask for a house. The Minister is introducing the Second Reading of the Defence Forces Bill. In November last, I put a question to the Minister for Defence. The answer gave th...
The Deputy was grand until he was interfered with by the interruptions of Deputies opposite.
The Minister is understanding the figures.
Yes.
I think the Minister will find that he is.
