Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the very serious condition of a hunger striker, Peter Preston, who has been protesting at the Dáil gate for many weeks; the urgent need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to meet this victim of crime; and to urgently support this person and his family in this urgent situation.
