Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern: in view of the annual catalogue of widespread waste of taxpayers' money outlined in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, the necessity to establish a national fiscal monitoring agency to monitor key expenditure of public money on public contracts, from initial planning to completion, in the areas of contracting, audits, procurement, labour and direct costs and budget compliance to minimise waste and ensure value for money for the taxpayer.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent importance: the need for the immediate location of emergency ambulance services in the town of Carrick-on-Suir in view of the failure of the ambulance services in Waterford and Clonmel to meet accepted response times, thereby putting patients' health and lives at risk.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the practical response to this week's Irish Business Against Litter survey of towns, which again highlights a serious litter problem that undermines our tourism industry and reflects badly on business, the necessary response being the introduction of a refundable deposit on beverage bottles and cans, a proposal the Green Party has made in the House on several occasions and the Government, particularly the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, can no longer afford to ignore.

It is not appropriate to go beyond that which was submitted to the Ceann Comhairle's office.

There are many kebab wrappers lying around town at the moment.

Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 31.
