asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that the water main to the island of Haulbowline is again broken with the result that the corrugated iron portion of the steel industry has had to be disc...
Is the Minister aware that all the nuts and bolts connecting this main are broken and worn away? When I raised this matter last January, I was informed by the Minister that he intended taking active s...
I am asking the Minister is it right that his Department should be so negligent as to put in jeopardy the livelihood of some 600 workers there. Does he not think it a matter of such importance as to ...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Flood and Coast Erosion in Cork.
asked the Minister for Lands if on his recent visit to Ballycotton he met a deputation of tenants from the Gaskell Estate and other estates in the Ballycotton-Garryvoe district in regard to the allevi...
I hope they will get their annuities.

Is the Minister aware that these proposals were first mooted about 10 years ago when Deputy Bartley was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture and was in charge of fisheries? We were...
I am dealing with a matter which has been dallied about with in the Department for the past 11 years.
The last statement I got here was from the Minister for Transport and Power, Deputy Childers, saying consultations were proceeding and a consultant had been appointed. How long does it take a consult...

National Loan, 1959. - Electoral (Amendment) Bill, 1959—Second Stage.
The Deputy could not have made a bigger mess of it.
More civil servants.
Do you object?
Oh, no.
The views I wish to express on this Bill have been very largely strengthened by the statement made here tonight by the Taoiseach. There is an old saying: three removes are as bad as a fire. I say tha...
In view of the allegation that has been made here in regard to a Donegal Deputy and a recent allegation in this House that because of the manner in which he voted, certain things were done in Donegal,...
Yes. I am prepared to guarantee that unless Deputy O'Sullivan does something extraordinarily out of the way, that constituency as it is will always give him a surplus between the wife's pull and his ...
The Deputy is dealing with the allegations that were made here about your own county, Donegal, a while ago and the reasons why a certain seat was kept there.
The very same thing happened in Mid-Cork, with this extraordinary result. I sympathise with Deputy Desmond. Deputy Desmond got a chance to have a lovely, handy little constituency around his own hou...
——in a city, where a twopenny bus fare will take you from one end to the other.
Anyway, the bus will take you. If you go to the Old Head of Kinsale and make out for the Kerry bounds, you are still in your constituency. It is the most ridiculous constituency ever. When I first e...
It is necessary if a man is to do the job he is elected to do. I know many of you do not look at it in that light, but I do. You have to travel around a big rural constituency like that. You get a...
I never attempted a job I did not succeed in doing. You open your post and there is a letter saying you are wanted in Charleville the following morning and you have to go. Constant travelling from p...
If I had the Deputy down there I would give him something to do.
I was explaining the difference between a five-seat and a three-seat constituency. It is only two months since we had posters around the country: “The local Deputy can give you better service.” How ...
