Vol. 616 No. 5

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to clarify the exact negotiating stance she adopted during last November's EU Agriculture Council during negotiations to overhaul the sugar regime given the subsequent closure of the Irish Sugar plant at Mallow and to state the efforts she made to save the industry in recent months.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that we do not have a comprehensive national women's strategy that will address the issues of violence against women in all its forms and, in particular, that, in my constituency of Sligo-Leitrim, there is no safe crisis accommodation for women and their children experiencing domestic violence and there is no ongoing support for people whose homes are no longer a safe refuge.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to postpone the implementation of the Taxi Regulations Commission Action Plan 2006-2007 for at least six months to enable more independent consultation with the taxi industry nationwide.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government make a statement in the House on the findings of the just published report that one third of this country's waterways are seriously polluted.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the emissions from the Tyrone Brick works in Castlecomer, County Kilkenny, and the EPA's actions in regard to the recent fire in the plant.

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