Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: in light of the disclosure last night on "Prime Time" that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Government ignored the advice given to him by Teagasc on the implementation of the nitrates directive, the need for the Minister to clarify his role in this debacle, to publish the advice presented by Teagasc and to have the complete regulation withdrawn pending compliance with Teagasc scientific advice.
