Ar an gcéad dul síos, iarratas chun tairiscint a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32, request to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the charges being imposed through local authorities as a result of lack of funding from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government for water and sewerage schemes, among others. In turn, if the Government does not change its attitude towards this issue, the capital charges, especially towards food-related industries, along with increased annual charges will force some of these businesses giving very essential employment out of business and out of this country at a time when the Government is giving major funding to attract outside industry and failing to deliver, especially to the Border region. This House must discuss this policy that clearly discriminates against industries in rural areas, which now come under the new Government guidelines
Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
