Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to put effective measures in place to enable the Garda Síochána to tackle the criminal gangs plaguing our society following the horrific murder of a 22 year old man in Donaghmede on Sunday evening, given that north-eastern Dublin is experiencing an unprecedented level of gun crime whereby this latest brutal attack is the sixth murder in the area in six months, and given that the Garda chief superintendent seeks political leadership from the Taoiseach on this matter.
