Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

Notwithstanding the debate on the pork crisis, I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, the horrific gunning down of a law-abiding citizen in inner city Dublin at the weekend and the urgent need for the Government to take action to tackle the easy availability of dangerous offensive weapons and the abject failure to date of legislative measures aimed at tackling anti-social and violent behaviour in our cities and on our streets.
