I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the imminent danger of industrial action in An Post arising from unresolved difficulties with the distinct possibility of the termination of services with obvious negative consequences for consumers, the economy and postal workers, and the urgent need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to report to the House on his discussions to date with either or both parties with a view to ensuring the continuity of services and lasting resolution to the underlying issues.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the grave importance for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to address the serious difficulties at An Post in the light of imminent strike action arising from the failure of An Post management to pay Sustaining Progress arrears to An Post workers and pensioners and other outstanding industrial relations matters at the company, and to discuss what action the Minister is undertaking to resolve this dispute in the run-up to the busy Christmas period.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need to allow the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Hanafin, to address the Dáil concerning her failure to include The Morning Star mother and baby unit as an institution for consideration by the Residential Institutions Redress Board which has lead to a woman feeling she has no other option but to go on hunger strike outside the Dáil to have her suffering recognised. This is a matter of some urgency as the woman is approaching two weeks of protest in all weathers.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for the Government to designate south Tipperary and the south-east region for category one status under European Union regional aid for the period 2007 to 2013 given that south Tipperary and the south east have lost out economically and socially over the last period.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure to develop the Mayo-Sligo end of the western rail corridor which is essential for balanced regional development and which could be done very easily by incorporating the existing Mayo-Dublin mainline rail service into an inter-town local train commuter service. It could be opened almost immediately, like the western rail corridor, and not in nine and a half years, considering that the rail and trains are already in existence and all that is lacking is a will to proceed to develop Mayo services and to address regional development.
