Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of topics under Standing Order 31 dealing with six different issues. I propose to deal with these separately and I will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office. In regard to the first topic, I received notice from Deputy James Breen.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I move that the Dáil be adjourned under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of local and national importance, the closure of the Graham and Heslip factory in the Gort road industrial estate in Ennis with the loss of 42 jobs. It is a very sad chapter in the unemployment record of County Clare. I ask that the Government take action.
The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31. In regard to the second topic, I call on Deputy Seán Ryan.
In accordance with the terms of Standing Order 31, I wish to give notice of my intention to move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, that is, the plight of students who have been promised a place in Malahide community school on the basis of a specific written commitment from the Minister for Education and Science to the effect that the new school project would commence in 2003, they have now been informed that there is no place for them in the school or in any other school in the area and the need for the Minister for Education and Science to take urgent action to deal with the situation. In view of the importance of the issue, I hope you will agree to my request.
The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31. Deputy Naughten has given me notice on the third topic.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely the information provided to the House last week during Question Time that the Phoenix Park tunnel is too narrow to provide rail services even though it not only can provide for the meeting of two freight trains in the tunnel but can also handle the widest trains ever used on the rail network.
The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31. In regard to the fourth topic, I have received notice from Deputy Neville and I now call on Deputy Neville.
I propose the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following motion of urgent national importance, namely the report by the OECD which states that the youth suicide rate has increased dramatically, placing Ireland second in a league table of people under 25 who take their own lives and the gross under funding by the Government of suicide prevention and research and the development of support for those bereaved by suicide.
The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31. In regard to the fifth topic I have received notice from Deputy Gogarty.
Given the ongoing lack of clarity, honesty and helpfulness on the issue, I ask that the business of the House be suspended to debate an issue of ongoing and urgent national importance, namely the need for the Government to honestly answer questions as to when it became aware of systematic abuse in institutions run by religious orders, why it took so long to address the issue, the manner in which it came to agree a deal with the Conference of Religious of Ireland and the role of various Ministers and the Attorney General in negotiating and concluding the deal.
The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31. Deputy Sargent has given me notice.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to investigate the scale and categories of illegal dumping which has taken place on Cement Roadstone Holdings land now including Huntstown in Fingal which, according to reports in today's newspapers, has been used over many years for the dumping of municipal waste in spite of the fact that CRH told an Oireachtas committee just days ago that no such illegal dumping was happening.
Sorry, Deputy, you are going outside the notice you have submitted to my office.
I wanted to bring it to your attention.
It is outside the precedent. The matter is not in order under Standing Order 31.
