Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

As I stated at the outset, the point of a supplementary question is to elucidate on the reply given. If the Deputy is not happy with the reply given to the question tabled by Deputy Pearse Doherty he is entitled to seek further information. It is difficult for the Chair when questions are grouped which do not really follow, one on the other. That is not a matter for me in this case but for the Taoiseach. If Deputy Adams is representing Deputy Doherty I ask him to stick to the question as tabled.
