Dáil Éireann debate -

Vol. 547 No. 2

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 Sargent. I now call on Deputy Sargent to state the matter.

I request, under Standing Order 31, that Dáil Éireann be adjourned to address the concerns of victims of abuse in residential institutions that the level of compensation is too low and that the financial obligations fall disproportionately on the taxpayer rather than on the institutions concerned and that the Government needs to renegotiate a fair and equitable package with those concerned.

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