Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to intervene to seek a resolution of the dispute between local residents and the Shell oil company in north Mayo following the outrageous jailing of five local residents, and to ask the Minister to appoint urgently an independent arbitrator and to request the Shell oil company to waive immediately the court order which it sought to jail these five citizens.
