Vol. 648 No. 4

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratais chun tairiscint a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32. Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I call Deputy Bannon.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter — the fact that almost two thirds of women with children of school-going age have no financial protection against unexpected death or are underinsured, which is indicative of the fact that most stay at home parents are women and the fallacy that protection is only necessary for those bringing an income into a household.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter — the violent killings of two young Polish men in Drimnagh, to whose families we offer our sincerest sympathies, and the urgent need for the Government to address the youth drink culture and associated violence. The high number of off-licences opening in communities with little or no consultation with the community is in need of particular attention as is the selling of alcohol in shops and supermarkets. Communities should be consulted on how best to tackle the serving of alcohol to minors by proxy or otherwise. The role of the Garda Síochána and the measures it should take with regard to offending licence holders should also be debated.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the decision to partly reverse the ban imposed on Brazilian beef imports in the absence of any independent verification that the farms in question comply with EU standards and the detrimental effect this will have on Irish producers required to comply with stringent regulations and on consumers who will not be provided with the same protections applied to beef produced within the EU.

Tar éis breithniú a dhéanamh, níl na nithe in ord faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32. Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
