Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of motions under Standing Order 31 concerning three different topics. I propose to deal with them separately and will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted the notices to my office.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 on an important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely the latest evidence of how British Crown Forces planned and organised the murder of Belfast solicitor, Pat Finucane, attempted to thwart the Stevens inquiry, and were involved in widespread institutionalised collusion with loyalist paramilitaries.
I also seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss an issue of vital public importance, namely the new evidence offered by the "Panorama" BBC television programme that an organised and sustained conspiracy existed involving members of the British Army and the RUC to secure the murder of alleged republicans in Northern Ireland, in particular the murder of a professional solicitor, and to have an independent inquiry into these matters.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be in order in accordance with Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely to allow the Minister for Foreign Affairs to correct the Official Report regarding incorrect information given during the Adjournment debate of 19 June concerning the report of the National Forum on Europe and the status of Irish neutrality under the terms of the Treaty of Nice.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be in order in accordance with Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 in order to address the seeming disregard of the judicial process represented by the Government's determination to construct two peat fired stations in Lanesborough and Shannonbridge despite the fact that there are two court cases pending on the problems associated with new peat fuelled stations and the ESB's extracting peat without an environmental impact statement.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be in order in accordance with Standing Order 31.
