Joe Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the decision of Galtee Meats, Mitchelstown, to ask workers to cut their pay to €9 per hour, with the elimination of all overtime, the effects of which would result in a reduction of 25% to 33% in workers' earnings. Given the importance of the issue, I hope the Ceann Comhairle will agree to this request.
