Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31 dealing with three different topics. I propose to deal with these topics separately and I will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need to have, as a matter of urgency, the text of the Government's declaration on neutrality to be attached to the Nice treaty set before the Dáil so that Dáil Éireann can debate the proposed declaration before it is presented to the EU summit in Seville for approval.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be in order in accordance with Standing Order 31.
On a point of order, a Cheann Comhairle—
