Vol. 600 No. 2

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.

Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I will call Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the implications of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the recent EU-detected breaches of security at Dublin Airport, the circumstances which allowed such lapses in security, the measures planned to fully and transparently assess the security protocols, procedures and practices at the airport and the need for external independent oversight of future security arrangements.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to act to ensure that social welfare payments can still be collected at post offices rather than paid only by electronic means given the large number of people who do not yet have bank accounts and the extent to which elderly people, especially in rural areas, rely on their local post offices.

Having considered the matters raised they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
