Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I wish to seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of major national importance, namely, why local authorities are using taxpayers' money to frighten the courts into not enforcing notices imposed on them by the Health and Safety Authority for breaches of road safety regulations, and in particular why Donegal County Council is seeking an injunction at taxpayers' expense restraining the HSA from investigating it or prosecuting its staff regarding an accident in which Sinéad McDaid was tragically killed at road works in Carndonagh, Donegal. It is a disgrace.
