Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I request the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance requiring urgent attention, namely, the need to remove the funding cap on rape crisis centres and women's refuges in place since 2002 and to properly fund these agencies, particularly in light of the significant increase in workload, and to ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
