I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following urgent issue: to ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, what he and the Government are doing to bring both sides together with a positive mindset in the industrial dispute within An Post; and most importantly, to ensure that while talks on the future of An Post are ongoing, Dublin and the rest of the country have an adequate postal service restored.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following urgent matter: the need for the Minister for Education and Science to urgently approve a grant for Newtown Upper national school, Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, for the replacement of outdoor toilets that have been condemned by the Health and Safety Authority; and the need for the Minister to make a statement on the matter, including the fact that the teachers have been forced to strike with effect from Friday, 2 April.
