Séamus Pattison (Carlow-Kilkenny, Labour)

Before I call Deputy Boyle, I should point out that on Question No. 37, Deputy Gormley, who submitted it, gave prior notice of his absence to the Office of the Ceann Comhairle and asked that Deputy Boyle substitute for him. As prior notice has been given, I call Deputy Boyle.
