I tried to raise the Torc Great Southern Hotel land sale a month ago but my question was disallowed due to lack of ministerial involvement. A Dáil question received the reply that the Minister has no direct function with regard to the matters raised as they are a day-to-day matter for the company concerned. I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank him for his courtesy and kindness regarding the matter, in anticipation of his reply. I am disappointed that an allied matter was ruled out of order, through no fault of the Cathaoirleach. There seem to be many inconsistencies in the responses that have been given in the past week or more.
