Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I request the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to address an urgent matter, namely, the wasteful use of public assets by the Government, for example, the lack of any cost-benefit analysis being required by the Government before allowing the Dublin Airport Authority to proceed with sacrificing public land worth €840 million for a new runway which, if built, will add further to the imbalance in regional development, choking Dublin further and starving the rest of Ireland.
