Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a specific and important matter that requires urgent consideration, namely, the need to congratulate and commend the Dublin Fire Brigade for its heroic actions last night, when it prevented a major tragedy by saving up to 70 people from a burning hostel in the north inner city; the need for the Government to provide extra ambulances to meet the demands of Dublin's growing population; the need for it to carry out a fire risk assessment for Dublin in line with its legislative obligations, which is something it has failed to do over many years, where particular attention should to be given to private rented hostels; and the need for everyone to co-operate fully with the fire brigade especially at this time of year, around Hallowe'en.
