I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, the need to publish the full Farrell, Grant, Sparks report on the Marino Institute of Education in order to resolve the concerns about the lack of transparency in the use of public money paid to Coláiste Mhuire, which receives about €5 million per year; the financial settlement paid to the former president of the institute; staff leaving the college in recent months citing an unhealthy and unacceptable working environment as the reasons for their departure; and to have an open debate on this important and valuable college.

I wish to seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, the report of the State inquiry, under chairwoman Judge Maureen Harding Clarke, into the actions of obstetrician Dr. Michael Neary at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where patients wombs were removed, over a period of 25 years, at a rate of 20 times the national average; the removal of 44 patients' files from the hospital; the tampering with the theatre register to erase names and conceal evidence; the urgent need for the introduction of stringent controls to protect patients from the actions of rogue doctors; and to call on the Government to establish a redress board for the victims, many of whom are prevented from seeking compensation due to the theft of their files.

I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to indicate the steps he proposes to take to address the dramatic and alarming increase in the use of the Internet for the purpose of disseminating child pornography.

I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, why ten people, including a 93 year old woman, were on trolleys in the accident and emergency department of Mayo General Hospital yesterday, some of whom were going into their fourth night on trolleys, while 30 elderly care beds have been closed at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Castlebar; and why 15 elderly assessment beds have not been commissioned upstairs in Mayo General Hospital, which would greatly relieve the accident and emergency trolley chaos at the hospital.

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