Vol. 606 No. 1

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 the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices.

I seek the suspension of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to allow for discussion on the continued imprisonment of the five Rossport men and the need to establish a full inquiry into all aspects of the Corrib gas pipeline project.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public concern, namely, the necessity to hold an urgent debate on the imprisonment of the five very brave men from Rossport and the entire circumstances surrounding their unjust and possibly illegal detention at the behest of a greedy, unscrupulous foreign corporation.

I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of public concern, namely, the urgent need to suspend the Corrib gas pipeline project pending a full inquiry into the project and the release of the five men from Rossport currently held in Cloverhill Prison.

I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the reason five Mayo men continue to be held in prison at the behest of a multinational company which has been proved to have conducted work without proper consent.

I wish to request the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to expand the terms of reference of the Hartnett-Rossiter inquiry and to establish the inquiry under recent public inquiry legislation introduced by the Minister instead of the out of date Dublin Police Act 1924 to ensure that a full, transparent and effective public inquiry takes place into the death in custody of 14 year old Brian Rossiter.

I wish to move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the serious implications for labour relations and the future of social partnership as well as the future of the maritime sector of the plan by Irish Ferries to seek the redundancy of 543 Irish staff with a view to replacing them with lower paid workers from abroad; and the need for the Government to intervene.

I wish to move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the serious implications for the future of the Irish maritime fleet and the plan by Irish Ferries to seek the redundancies of 543 Irish staff with a view to replacing them with lower paid workers from abroad as well as the possible consequences for labour relations generally and social partnership in particular; and the need for the Government to intervene.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the jailing of five men from Rossport, County Mayo; to call on the Minister of State, Deputy Frank Fahey, to come into the House and explain his role as Minister with responsibility for this project; to call on the Taoiseach to intervene to try to resolve the situation; and that a full debate be held in Dáil Éireann on this issue.

I seek the adjournment of the business of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent public importance, namely, that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment intervene in the situation involving Irish Ferries Limited where management of that company is seeking a replacement workforce which will be paid less in a gross contravention of the spirit of the national partnership process and a likely cost to the State of some €6 million.

I seek leave to adjourn the House under the terms of Standing Order 31 to debate the following matter of national importance, namely, the approximately 1,000 school children who are still affected by the reduction in numbers available under the concessionary system and the need, as I have called for previously, for a wide-scale review of school bus catchment areas and boundaries.

I propose the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent importance, namely, the need to provide school transport for first year students to Pallaskenry post-primary centre from Limerick city.

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