Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the failure of the Government to fund any of the truly cross-Border projects, such as the Castle Sanderson scouting project, the Ballybay wetlands or the re-opening of the Ulster Canal. The Government is demanding that cross-Border projects be brought forward for funding between now and 2012, yet some of these projects have not even been visited by the Government officials concerned.
