Vol. 666 No. 2

Request to Move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratas chun tairisceanta a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. We will now deal with a request to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.

In accordance with the terms of Standing Order 32, I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the serious implications for the health of women of the Government decision not to proceed with the planned cervical cancer vaccination programme aimed at 12 year old girls, particularly in light of expert opinion that such a programme could save up to 80 lives per year, and the urgent need for the Minister for Health and Children to review the decision and re-instate the programme at the earliest possible date. In light of the importance of this matter, I hope that the Ceann Comhairle will allow it.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar an ní ardaithe, níl sé in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
