Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I call on the 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 a matter of national importance, namely, the accident yesterday where a pupil fell from a school bus carrying pupils from Corrigeen Roe national school, County Roscommon. There is an immediate need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the circumstances surrounding the incident, for the Minister to outline the steps taken to ensure an independent investigation into the incident takes place, and to outline the measures to ensure such an incident is not repeated.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the necessity for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to take immediate steps to alleviate the scandalous situation at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where 21 patients were lying on trolleys in corridors this morning and the need for this House to declare its disgust at the apparent lack of action or concern by the Government to address the ongoing plight of patients such as those currently on trolleys in the hospital.
