Jackie Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to appoint a temporary teacher to a school in County Kerry in which 118 pupils will be on the roll on 30 September 2006 and which will have three classes with 30 or more pupils before amalgamating in 2007. As a result the school will not be able to make this appointment and, therefore, it needs to be granted a temporary appointment with effect from 1 September 2006.
