Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I will call the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.
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, in view of the spiralling suicide rates, the urgent necessity for every person employed in the health service to be provided with a suicide information pack and appropriate specialist prevention training in the recognition of the signs and symptoms related to suicide and that these training and information packs be extended to all teachers, Garda and community group leaders and organisations.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to devise an emergency transport plan for the Clondalkin, Lucan and Palmerstown areas in the wake of the go ahead being granted for the M50 widening scheme, including measures to tackle gridlock through traffic management measures, the speeding up of the works on the Dublin-Cork rail line and Heuston interconnector, early investment in electrification and investment in more buses and work towards an integrated cross-Liffey rail link and a Luas link.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to immediately roll out the BreastCheck programme to all areas of the country, including the south east and south Tipperary in view of the 1,700 cases of women diagnosed with breast cancer each year and the approximate 640 women who die each year from breast cancer and to allow the Tánaiste and Minister for Health to 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 need for the Government to front load the funding of the western rail corridor to ensure that Mayo is not deprived any longer of this essential railroad infrastructure and can benefit from the western rail corridor from the start.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the series of attacks on Jewish property in the Portobello area where racist graffiti consisting of swastikas and SS signs were sprayed on Jewish landmarks, the fact that this was the third such attack in recent months and the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice immediately.
Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 31.
