Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the necessity for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to abandon his plans for imposing incineration on the people of this State.

Given that the Government is unwilling to take on board the damaging effects of incineration on health, will it consider the voice of UNESCO as well as those of several Unionist politicians who apparently have greater concern for the well-being of the people and property of the Louth-Meath area than the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Cullen? There is an urgent necessity to debate this important issue to highlight the need for proper recycling facilities that would render the incineration process obsolete.
