Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of urgent importance: the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to make an explicit commitment that Irish children will not be deprived of the care and company of their parents as a result of a deportation order made by him and to note that the absence of such a commitment prompted more than 70 Nigerian fathers to commence a hunger strike last week.
