Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss an issue of urgent national importance, namely, the need to assist the 52% of children in disadvantaged areas that are not ready for primary school, the 26% of children displaying significant conduct problems before starting school and the need for the Department of Education and Science to support creative new proposals to assist these children.
