Vol. 629 No. 3

Adjournment Debate Matters.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 21 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Kirk — the need for the HSE to examine the feasibility of extending the doctor on call scheme to all parts of County Louth; (2) Deputy Crawford — the need for the allocation of funding and permission to proceed with a project in a school in Virginia, County Cavan; (3) Deputy Cowley — to ask the Minister if he will intervene to ensure equity for rural dwellers in the Mayo area who have been given only ten days due to holidays to source an alternative refuse collection service, whereas up until now this has been done by Mayo County Council, and if he will agree that a waiver system needs to be retained for older and impoverished people; (4) Deputy Sargent — to ask the Minister to withhold a percentage of the aid package earmarked for Greencore until it complies with the Labour Court's recommendation to pay the 145 families of former workers their due entitlement as part of the social aspect of the plan to end sugar protection in Ireland, given the amount due to workers beyond what Greencore has offered is €3.4 million, in light of the fact that the company's profits amounted to €98 million last year and in light of the recommendation of the European Commission that the Minister take this course of action; (5) Deputy Stanton — the need for urgent funding to counteract the dangers posed by landslides in Cobh, County Cork; (6) Deputy Broughan — the urgent need for the Minister to respond to the memorandum submitted by the Stardust victims and relatives committee requesting the urgent establishment of a new commission of inquiry into the Stardust disaster where 48 young people tragically lost their lives and in light of the 25-year struggle of the relatives and survivors for justice and closure; and (7) Deputy Connolly — to discuss staffing and accommodation difficulties at St. Mary's national school, Virginia, County Cavan.

The matters raised by Deputies Kirk, Crawford, Connolly and Stanton have been selected for discussion.
