Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

I wish to propose the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, the lack of consumer legislation to regulate the activities of companies advertising competitions and promotions that entice people to call premium rate phone lines at rates in excess of €2.40 per minute to claim illusory rewards, and to call on the Government to widen the powers of Regtel to introduce sanctions for companies involved in breaches of Regtel's code of practice.
