Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I 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 raise a matter of national importance, namely, the developing crisis at Global Mobile Vision and the urgent need to assist staff and customers.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that landowners and residents of Rossport, County Mayo, who are in mortal fear for their lives, are being thrown into jail because they are asserting their right to live on their own property without a potentially lethal high pressure gas pipeline being imposed on them. It is a disgrace.

Deputy Cowley is anti-development and anti-the west.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to plan for the potential growth in biofuel production which could supply as much oil as Ireland uses in electricity generation or five times the amount of diesel our entire public transport fleet requires each year if just one seventh of land in pasture were converted to biofuel production as detailed in a Green Party study and how such a move would greatly improve our efforts with the Kyoto Protocol.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of public concern, namely, the threat of legal action hanging over local landowners at Rossport, County Mayo, two of whom have been committed to prison this morning, who are objecting on health and safety grounds to the proposed gas pipeline there. The wrong people have been put in jail.

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