Ned O'Keeffe (Cork East, Fianna Fail)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the strike of Dairygold Co-operative Society Limited employees at Mallow, County Cork, in view of the hardship being imposed on them and the failure of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment to resolve this dispute as the proposals before the employees are requesting them to reduce their existing wage rate and accept the minimum wage rate, which is not acceptable and is similar to what is happening at Irish Ferries.
