Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to address concerns expressed by members of Cork city fire service about flaws in the new CAMP mobilisation system due to lack of geographical knowledge by the mobilisation centre, and if he recognises the serious threat to public safety this is causing given the series of recent incidents that are attributable to the new system.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the underfunding and under-resourcing of Kerry General Hospital, the dispute by general practitioners outside the hospital this week, the threatened resignation of the accident and emergency consultant at the hospital, the difficulties in cardiology services in the county and the consequences of this for the people of County Kerry.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need to remove the funding cap on rape crisis centres since 2002 particularly in view of the increase of more than 50% in calls to these centres across the country following the publication of the Ferns Report.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under one of those frustrating Standing Orders, in this case No. 31, to debate the following urgent matter: the necessity for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to make a statement regarding the actions of a company, Doyle Concrete, in Rathangan which is attempting to bully its workers into accepting intolerable terms and conditions of employment in an effort to replace the current workers with lower paid migrant labour; the fact that workers at the plant have been on strike since 5 October and the rejection by this company of Labour Court recommendations in respect of the matter.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the ongoing protest outside the gates of Leinster House by Marie-Therese O'Loughlin and the immediate need for the Morning Star Mother and Baby Home, North Brunswick Street, Dublin, to be included in the Schedule of the residential institutions redress board scheme and for a further review of institutions where abuse occurred and which should also be included in the Schedule.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the serious situation arising from the third gangland murder in Dublin within 24 hours, bringing to 19 the number of such murders so far this year, the steps the Taoiseach and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform intend to take to prevent further loss of life and to ensure that the gangs are put out of business, and if any additional resources have been allocated to the Garda for this purpose.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: why only two ambulances are on call for the entire County Mayo area at night, the third largest county in Ireland with a population of 120,000, and why a young girl had to spend four days on a trolley with severe abdominal pain together with 11 others owing to the failure of this Government to provide adequate resources to the Health Service Executive western region for ambulances, staff and beds.
Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
