Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

Under Standing Order 32, I seek to adjourn the House to discuss the embargo on new entrants to the rural social scheme which has been an important source of income for many people in rural communities, as well as performing valuable work on historical sites, the fact that this embargo will further increase rural poverty and rural isolation, with the risk that brings of increased levels of depression and suicide.
