Vol. 611 No. 5

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 seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment immediately reviews his policy on seizing the enterprise functions of Shannon Free Airport Development Company in view of the recent reports that it expects to create 1,000 jobs in the Shannon region over the next six months while IDA Ireland only created seven jobs in new companies in County Clare over the past five years.

Is mian liom fógra a thabhairt don Cheann Comhairle faoi Bhuan-Ordú 31 go bhfuil sé ar m'intinn iarraidh air an Dáil a chur ar athló maidin inniu chun an cheist phráinneach seo a phlé: cáilliúint 89 post ag Maysteel Teo. in Indreabhán, Contae na Gaillimhe, agus an gá le cruinnithe a eagrú idir na hAirí atá freagrach, is é sin, an tAire Fiontair, Trádála agus Fostaíochta, an Teachta Martin, agus an tAire Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, an Teachta Ó Cuív, agus ionadaithe na n-oibrithe agus Údarás na Gaeltachta.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the necessity for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a statement to the House regarding the fact that an inspection on Sunday last at a sampling location in one of Sellafield nuclear plant's high activity storage tanks uncovered high dose rates resulting in temporary evacuation of the plant; the fact that this incident is further evidence of the atrocious safety record at Sellafield; and the necessity for the Government to redouble its efforts to bring about the closure of this death plant.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the loss of 100 jobs at the Department of Agriculture and Food, Davitt House, Castlebar, County Mayo, resulting in Mayo people being forced to move to Portlaoise or accept shift work in alternative employment on the Garda PULSE system for which they are not primarily trained; and the need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food and the Government to intervene.

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