Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a notice of motion under Standing Order 31 from Deputy Trevor Sargent. I call on Deputy Sargent to state the matter.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I wish to give notice, in accordance with the terms of Standing Order 31, of my intention to seek to move the Adjournment of the Dáil in order that the Minister for the Environment and Local Government can give a full statement on how he intends to deal with the current waste crisis, his plans, if any, to override democratic decisions reached by local councils, and his failure to properly exercise his powers to minimise waste under the Waste Management Act, 1996.
Having considered the matter fully, the Ceann Comhairle does not consider it to be one contemplated by Standing Order 31. Therefore, I cannot grant leave to move the motion.
