Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31 and I will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted the notices to my office. I call on Deputy Kehoe to state his matter.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely to ask the Minister for Health and Children when radiotherapy services will finally be provided in the south-east and when the review by the expert group on the subject will be published.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of public interest, namely to ask the Minister for Health and Children when radiotherapy services will be finally provided in the south-east region; and when the review by the expert group on the subject will be published and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of the Minister for Health and Children to allocate funding for any new service developments for people with disabilities in 2003, despite the large numbers requiring services; the lack of funding for emergencies which will inevitably arise when a parent or carer is no longer able to look after a child in the event of death; and the loss of services due to the funding position, including the loss of day care service for a representative of Ireland at the Special Olympics.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to deal with a matter of vital importance, namely, the failure of the Government to ensure proper provision is made for day care services and special education in order that Irish contestants in the Special Olympics and others with a disability can receive the care they need after the games.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate an issue of urgent public importance, namely the revelation that patients may now have to be treated in the car park at the Mater Hospital due to overcrowding in the accident and emergency department; and the need for the Government to introduce substantial measures to deal with the accident and emergency crisis in the country.
Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider they are in accordance with Standing Order 31.
