Vol. 579 No. 2

Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.

Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 31. I call Deputy Sargent.

I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to address an issue of huge significance for democracy and public confidence in the democratic process, namely, the Government plans to override the concerns of IT experts, all Opposition parties as well as many Government supporters who are appalled by the reckless determination of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Cullen, to proceed with his e-voting plan without a voter verifiable paper audit trail.

Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 31.
