Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

This is an honour. I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: Limerick County Council's continued attempts to force water from a polluted source, the River Deel, on the community of Pallaskenry, Kildimo, in west Limerick which enjoys a fully adequate supply of water from the local Bleach Lough, a natural spring water source, and Limerick County Council's intensive bullying of the community to force it to give up its opposition, including the use of the High Court to threaten people with jail tomorrow, which is an outrage. The Taoiseach should intervene to stop this bullying.
