Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 31 from Deputy Sherlock. I call on Deputy Sherlock to state the matter.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the decision of Galtee Meats, Mitchelstown, to ask workers to cut their pay to €9 per hour, with the elimination of all overtime, the effects of which would result in a reduction of 25% to 33% in workers' earnings. Given the importance of the issue, I hope the Ceann Comhairle will agree to this request.

Having given the matter full consideration I do not consider it to be in order under Standing Order 31.
