I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31 dealing with two different topics. I will deal with them separately and will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices. I received notice from Deputy Healy and I call on him to state the matter.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of immediate national importance: the failure of the Minister for Education and Science since April 2001 to appoint a single design team for extensions to national schools throughout the country, leaving hundreds of schools nationwide in limbo, with severe overcrowding and unsuitable, unsafe and leaking temporary accommodation.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be contemplated by Standing Order 31. I received notice from Deputy Sargent in regard to the second topic and I now call on him to raise the matter.
I wish Dáil Éireann to be adjourned to address the deep concerns of all employed at and depending upon Aer Lingus, which faces a most uncertain future that depends on the result of the pilots' vote on strike action, which will be known tomorrow at midday.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be contemplated by Standing Order 31.
