Vol. 685 No. 2

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratais chun tairisceana a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Now we come to requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to develop services for patients with cystic fibrosis, particularly at St. Vincent's Hospital, Beaumont Hospital and other centres throughout the State and call on the Minister for Health and Children and all Deputies in Dáil Éireann to give the maximum support to all cystic fibrosis patients and their families.

Lorgaim cead chun an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun ghné rí-thábhachtach náisiúnta a phlé, sé sin, the proposal by the HSE and the management of Cherry Orchard Hospital, Dublin, to close down the newly refurbished Beech House containing 25 community beds and to sub-contract a private operator to take ten public patients at a greater cost to the public purse than keeping the facility open; the need for the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney and Professor Brendan Drumm to resign immediately for gross incompetence in running the HSE; and for the cuts in community beds at Cherry Orchard Hospital to be reversed and the service enhanced to cater for public demand.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
