I have been informed that the Select Committee set up by the Seanad have invited Messrs. J. A. McCarron and J. A. Duffy, of the National Health Insurance Section of my Department, to appear before them at their meeting to-day to be examined in relation to the National Health Insurance Bill now before the Seanad.

As I do not think it proper that Messrs. McCarron and Duffy, or any other official of my Department, be subjected to examination in the manner suggested, I have instructed them not to attend the Committee’s meeting.

If the Select Committee desire further information on the National Insurance Bill I will be prepared to attend and give the Committee whatever information is necessary.

(Signed) SEAN T. O CEALLAIGH.”
