I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the loss of 40 manufacturing jobs at the Oasis plant in Ballina, County Mayo, which will have a devastating effect on the north Mayo town given that the high unemployment rate in the town is twice the national rate, and to ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment what action he will take to replace the lost jobs, and if he will put pressure on the IDA and if he will outline what other steps he will take to create employment in this employment blackspot.
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: to allow the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to make a further statement to this House to clarify the record after his Department refused freedom of information requests from media organisations to provide an accompanying photograph to a false passport application that he made available to corroborate his version of the intent behind this application, given that it has now been confirmed that no written record exists within his Department of any formal request, written or verbal, to make this passport application public.
Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
