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 urgent need to support the residents of Donnycarney, Dublin 5, Elm Mount Avenue, Richmond Road, Fairview, Collins Park and Clontarf who have suffered recently with huge flooding; and call on the Minister for Finance and the OPW to provide support and funding to Dublin City Council on this urgent matter.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to debate the decision by the Government and the HSE to remove the acute medical services from Monaghan General Hospital to Cavan. There are serious implications not only for the people of Monaghan but for County Cavan, where the present hospital cannot cope with its own patients and has already closed down the Pathways special unit for rehabilitation. On the last occasion Monaghan General Hospital was off call many lives were lost and if this proposal is implemented lives will be in danger and it will become the mould for all other general hospitals across the land.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need for the Taoiseach and the Minister for Health and Children to intervene directly to prevent the planned removal on 22 July of all acute services from Monaghan General Hospital, including all emergency and inpatient medical services, with potentially devastating consequences for the safety and health care of all those who depend on the hospital, as well as very serious knock-on effects for Cavan General Hospital which will have to cope with some thousands of additional inpatient admissions per year without the provision of a single additional inpatient bed.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the findings of a report published yesterday which highlights the problems of unbalanced regional development, which sees major deficits in road and rail projects, regional airports and broadband services in several regions, including the midlands, which are impacting adversely on production, delivery and travel times and negatively affecting competitiveness.
Can the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food comment on his proposal to abolish REPS 4, which has farmers up in arms around the country?
Deputies
