Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the necessity for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to take immediate steps to alleviate the scandalous situation at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where 21 patients were lying on trolleys in corridors this morning and the need for this House to declare its disgust at the apparent lack of action or concern by the Government to address the ongoing plight of patients such as those currently on trolleys in the hospital.
