I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I will call the Deputies in the order in which they submitted notices to my office.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of urgent national importance, namely, the working of the agreement between the Department of Health and Children and the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with regard to the exclusive rights held by the hospital to all donor lungs from Ireland, and the fact that a person with cystic fibrosis who has already been selected for a lung transplant at Manchester Hospital cannot undergo this critical, life-saving procedure as a lung will not be released to him by the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Government to launch an international initiative to expose the truth of collusion between successive British Governments and their surrogate Unionist paramilitary organisations in the killings of hundreds of people; the mandate given to the Government by the Oireachtas Sub-Committee on the Barron Report to initiate further investigations into the failure by agencies of the State to properly investigate the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of May 1974; and to press the British Government to establish a public inquiry into the role of its forces in that atrocity.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the need for the Government to become pro-active on the issue of collusion in response to the appeal of bereaved families and survivors of collusion who visited Leinster House on 25 March and were met by Deputies and Senators from all political parties, except the Labour and Progressive Democrats parties, and several Independent Deputies.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, the findings of the Cory report which clearly indicate that there was widespread collusion between the British Government and loyalist death squads in the killing of Irish citizens north and south of the Border over the past 30 years.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the latest comments by Judge Peter Cory in which he acknowledges that the British Government has failed to live up to the clear commitments it made at Weston Park to launch a public inquiry into the death of Belfast solicitor, Pat Finucane, if that was the recommendation of his report.
Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
