I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of public and national concern, namely the chronic under funding in counties Cavan and Monaghan and nationally of child and adolescent psychiatric services, which has resulted in only the gravest emergency cases of threats to lives, safety or security being treated with consequent trauma for both children and parents, the urgent necessity for the earliest possible intervention and to call for adequate funding to be provided to streamline psychiatric services for young people.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss a matter of urgent national importance namely the illegal deduction by health boards from State benefits of people with intellectual disability who reside in public institutions and that under no circumstances should the statute of limitations be applied to the calculation of refunds.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to address a matter of urgent public concern, namely, the report of 30 kg. of separated plutonium going missing at Sellafield and the need to know when the Irish Government became aware of this information in the light of the court case taken by Government which led to a decision for the UK authorities to keep the Irish Government informed of any such nuclear related matters.
