Vol. 519 No. 4

Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.

Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice of motion under Standing Order 31 from Deputy Gormley. I now call on Deputy Gormley to state the matter.

I wish to have the business of the House suspended under Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of urgent public importance, namely, the need for the Government to reconsider its national waste strategy, with its emphasis on incineration, in light of the latest report from the EPA in the United States linking carcinogenic dioxins with incineration.

Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be one contemplated by Standing Order 31 and, therefore, I cannot grant leave to move the motion.
