I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the disgraceful use of more than 8,000 An Post pensioners as pawns in the current dispute in that company by the withholding of their due increases under Sustaining Progress for the past two years; the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to ensure pensioners are removed from the equation and that their increases and arrears under Sustaining Progress are paid forthwith; and the importance of achieving a fair and equitable resolution of the dispute which threatens to cause widespread disruption to the postal service.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the immediate need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to intervene in the An Post dispute and to instruct An Post to meet its obligations under the partnership agreement and pay the full increase due under Sustaining Progress to its workers and retired staff.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the disastrous and unprecedented permission in place for genetically modified oilseed rape GT73, a viable seed, to be imported into Ireland; the need for the Government to implement the safeguard clause to protect Irish agriculture and the future marketing of food in line with the democratic wishes of the Committees on European Affairs and Environment and Local Government and the people of Ireland.
