Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)

I request the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following urgent matter, namely, the reduction in secure psychiatric beds at St. Brendan's Hospital by ten from 24, resulting in unacceptable circumstances in which there are no secure beds for very disturbed patients who cannot be accommodated safely in an open ward; and the fact that one disturbed person who recently appeared before the courts required a secure psychiatric bed but was released on bail when none was available.
