Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

Under Standing Order 32, I seek the adjournment of this House to debate the ongoing situation at Glengad, County Mayo, where local people with genuine objections to the proposed gas pipeline are being treated in a very heavy-handed manner by private security people. The freedom of people, including local fishermen, to move about and engage in their work is being impeded. I call on the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to intervene and to ensure that a full public inquiry is held in order to address all objections.
