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 urgent need to assist St. Michael's House, Dublin, in providing services for people with physical and intellectual disabilities, particularly the 296 on residential waiting lists, 74% of whom live on the north side of Dublin; the need for the Minister to implement urgently the recommendations of the Harmon-Wolfe report which demand action on the 59 posts outstanding; and the need to give St. Michael's House the maximum support over the next year as a matter of urgency.
