Vol. 615 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 seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss an issue of urgent national importance, namely, the unfair decision to have the leaving certificate music examination and the religious examination taking place at the same time on Thursday, 22 June, as this will put some pupils at great disadvantage and under extreme pressure. I call on the Minister for Education and Science to intervene to preserve the integrity and fairness of our national examinations.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to intervene with An Post to accept the offer by Cahir Development Association to purchase Cahir Post Office, County Tipperary, and to appoint a member of the association as postmaster for the purposes of continuing the post office service in Cahir or, alternatively, to confirm that the current postal service in Cahir, operated by An Post, will continue as heretofore, and to ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.

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