Vol. 580 No. 5

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 seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following urgent matter: the unacceptable situation where the largest town in Ireland does not have a full postal service because An Post management has initiated unofficial industrial action; the need to appoint an industrial relations expert to put a system in place to ensure postal workers are paid their hard-earned wages; and the necessity for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to investigate how An Post management allowed a situation to develop where residents and businesses in Drogheda, County Louth, must travel to Slane, County Meath, or Balbriggan, County Dublin, to post their mail.

Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be contemplated by Standing Order 31.
