Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32. I call Deputy James Bannon.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
(Interruptions).
Have I order?
The normal procedure is that the Deputy reads his notice first.
A Deputy
The Deputy is only interrupting himself.
That is a common problem on the other side of the House.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the blatant misleading of the public by the HSE in respect of hospital appointments, with patients' lives being put at risk by the continual issuing and cancelling of appointments to attend a certain consultant although no such post exists in the medical area in the hospital concerned; and the only response to the sham being a comment from the hospital spokesperson that these appointments were made in good faith.
Having considered the matter, I do not consider it to be in order under Standing Order 32.
On a point of order, did the Leas-Cheann Comhairle receive a notice from me under Standing Order 32 with regard to the Coca-Cola workers' dispute?
The only notice that arrived in my office was the one I have already considered.
So the Leas-Cheann Comhairle did not receive it?
I will check whether it arrived subsequently.
