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 discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the continuing delay by the Health Service Executive in releasing to the Walsh family the report into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Pat Joe Walsh at Monaghan General Hospital in October 2005; a report which has not been released to the family eight months later, despite an initial estimate of eight weeks for its compilation; a report which has been in the possession of the Health Service Executive for over six weeks without reference to the Walsh family; and call for the Pat Joe Walsh report to be released forthwith to the Walsh family prior to its general publication.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the reason officials of Ballina Town Council are responsible for the dumping of tonnes of earth on a green area at Canalside, Ballina, which is protected as part of SAC 002298, known as River Moy, and on which green area they intend to construct a car park by taking it over, completely against the wishes of the local residents, although it is the only green area left in the locality, is occupied by swans and wild herons, is on the banks of the River Moy, and where the only two other green areas have been lost through rezoning for a nursing home for a private developer and for a car park for fishermen, and where there is no need to destroy the only remaining green area because there is already more than ample parking in the immediate vicinity.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to ensure that adequate provision is made to protect members of the emergency services from unprovoked attacks when carrying out their work and that an awareness campaign is put in place to highlight the critical importance of these services to the community.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, to provide an opportunity for the Minister for Transport to explain the inexcusable price difference in annual rail ticket price from Drogheda to Dublin at €1,620 versus Balbriggan to Dublin at €820; double the price despite a distance difference of less than ten miles; the need for equity in rail fares and for the Minister to outline how he will achieve this equity

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