Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I request the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of local and national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the need for the Government, including the Minister for Education and Science, to implement the commitment in An Agreed Programme for Government to reduce primary school class sizes and to debate the Minister's recent statement that she does not propose to implement that commitment in the lifetime of the Government.
