I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the failure of the Government to follow through on the agreement with the IFA made prior to the 2002 general election regarding the procurement of land and property to allow the building of roads and infrastructure in general, which is not being implemented in spirit or reality. These property owners are being forced through compulsory purchase orders to sell their property regardless of damage to their long-term viability, and deserve reasonable treatment, compensation and the opportunity of roll-over tax.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science and the Government collectively to look at ways of providing replacement funding for the Educate Together patron body, given its important role to date in providing support for a growing proportion of new school projects and the danger that our country's educational development and infrastructure will be adversely affected should it be forced to close most of its services, as currently seems to be the case.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of Donegal gardaí to adequately investigate the fatal road accident on 12 June 2001 in which Sinéad McDaid was killed, or to preserve the scene of the accident. Why did Donegal County Council and the HSA not investigate the accident, which happened on a road where resurfacing work had commenced earlier that day? Why did Donegal gardaí not adequately investigate yet another Donegal road traffic accident of 27 December 2004 in which Stephen Gray was fatally injured?

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