David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 on the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration: the need for the Government to engage with Greencore plc to prevent the dismantling of the Mallow sugar plant so that it will remain available to provide raw material to produce ethanol from sugar beet or other such energy crops in light of reports that Greencore Limited might be planning to dismantle it very soon and the need for Ireland to develop an alternative energy sector as a matter of urgency.
