Vol. 730 No. 3

Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32

Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32. I call on Deputy Finian McGrath.

I seek to move the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to support actively Justice for the Forgotten, the support group for the families of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, in its efforts to find truth and justice. I call on the Taoiseach to demand that the British Government open its files and make available documentation that was withheld from Mr. Justice Henry Barron during the course of his inquiries into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and other cross-Border bombings perpetrated in this jurisdiction in the 1970s. I call on all Members of the Oireachtas to attend the dignified wreath-laying ceremony on 17 May at the memorial on Talbot Street, where no flags or banners will be displayed.

Having considered the matter raised, I have decided it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
