Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, that with regard to the Monageer tragedy there was failure by the Health Service Executive and the social services to complete a suicide risk assessment which would have superficially identified ten indicators. These, combined, indicate high risk of suicide and the consequential need for the intervention of the mental health services and such an action would have saved the lives of Mr. Dunne, his wife and two children. In addition, there was failure by the Minister for Health and Children to include a psychiatrist in the Monageer inquiry team.
