Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to establish a code of conduct for public representatives highlighting issues relating to workers from other EU countries, as well as the need to reiterate our welcome for our fellow European citizens, allied with the provision of adequate resources to enforce Irish labour laws, which will protect Irish jobs, so that the latent xenophobic and in some cases racist tendencies of a small minority of the native population are not fuelled into something more dangerous by an us and them scenario as portrayed either cynically or very sloppily recently by a number of political parties with regard to issues such as child care and work permits.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the allocation of funds to provide a quality hospital system for south Tipperary by opening the units costing €40 million and lying idle for approximately three years at Cashel and Clonmel and by relocating the general surgical services at south Tipperary General Hospital, Clonmel.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the reason the Garda policing of a peaceful protest by law abiding citizens in County Mayo against the Corrib gas pipeline project has cost the State nearly €1 million already in Garda bills and the fact that this expenditure is urgently needed elsewhere to deal with crime instead of spending such a disgraceful sum on what amounts to a peaceful protest in Mayo.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to indicate if he is aware that Sram Ireland Limited intends ceasing operation at its Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary plant with the result that 53 people will lose their jobs. This is a huge blow to a town which has already suffered many industrial closures in previous years. Will the Minister indicate what steps will be taken to secure employment in Carrick-on-Suir?

Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
