Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to explain why the proposed new community college in Glenamaddy, County Galway, has not commenced construction despite the fact that the school authorities have been informed that all stages have been successfully concluded and that the builder is awaiting a letter of intent; to tell the House whether she is aware of the utter confusion being caused by the use by the staff and students of the college of two existing schools which are almost half a mile apart; to bear in mind that the amalgamation project was commenced in 2002; and to inform the House when the go-ahead for the project will be given.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to facilitate a short debate on the recent report highlighting the total failure of the Government's policy on drugs in prisons and to provide for greater and more consistent availability of detox programmes and enhanced prison security.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the delay in bringing rape and murder cases to trial, given that the average waiting time in 2007 was seven months, which was approximately a month longer than in 2006.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for the Enterprise, Trade and Employment to ensure that the State's industrial relations machinery urgently intervenes to find a resolution to the industrial action taking place at the Novum manufacturing plant in the Clonshaugh industrial estate, Dublin 17, in light of the role of the company in continuing traditional manufacturing in north Dublin and its importance in providing valuable employment in the north Coolock area.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance and public interest, namely, the failure of the State to execute bench warrants on 36,000 suspected criminals, including nine suspected rapists, who are at large and pose a significant threat to people in communities throughout the country, and whose bench warrants go back as far as 1999.
Having given the matters full consideration, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 32.
