Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need for the Government, in light of the death of Kevin Doyle yesterday, having taken cocaine at a party in Waterford, to reconsider the Sinn Féin Private Members' motion of May 2006 with a view to resourcing and implementing a national action plan to tackle spiralling cocaine abuse, which not only is continuing to take the lives of its consumers but is contributing heavily to the creation of an increasingly violent society as ruthless dealers continue to shoot each other as they compete in this lucrative and deadly market.
