Vol. 598 No. 3

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.

Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to immediately commence the appointment of community gardaí and the installation of closed circuit television cameras in towns and cities throughout the country in order to deal with the ongoing scourge of anti-social behaviour and to enable the Minister to make a statement on the matter.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the need for the Government to act to stop a leading mobile phone company from erecting mobile phone masts within the Dairygold complex in Mitchelstown, County Cork and within MICAM Limited, formerly Mica & Micanite, in Mallow, owing to the uncertainty surrounding the potential health risks of such masts. In view of the importance of this issue, I hope the Chair will agree to my request. I should have mentioned that this is without licence or permit in each case.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of major national importance, namely, the unrecognised part which road conditions play in the causation of serious and fatal road traffic accidents and the need for a nationwide study to audit where dangerous road conditions exist and have caused and continue to cause fatal road traffic accidents.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national and international importance, namely, the inadequacy of the Government's plans to reverse the inexorable growth of greenhouse gas emissions in light of reports today that a further allowance of 37,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions is proposed for Irish Cement plc while at the same time the energy performance directive for the built environment has not been implemented.

Having considered the matters raised I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 31.
