Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent importance: in the light of the severe flooding in the Shannon and Suck basins, there is an immediate need for the Government to make the Army available to provide access to communities currently isolated, for the HSE to relocate four-wheel drive ambulances to local bases, to provide emergency funds to local authorities to improve the limited access that is available in some areas and for funds to be put in place in 2007 to maintain the river and raise roads which are prone to flooding.
