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

I move that the Dáil be adjourned under Standing Order 31 to discuss an urgent matter of public importance, namely, that Dáil Éireann be adjourned to put in place a serious action plan to ensure Garda provision keeps pace with population increase in towns depending on Garda stations in Balbriggan, Swords and Malahide, in light of the disproportionately large Garda presence at Ballinaboy in recent days, where the Shell company has still not announced its alternative pipeline route.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of vital national interest, namely, the large scale disconnection of telephone and broadband services throughout the country with a consequent negative economic impact, damage to consumer confidence and the concept of deregulation and the urgent need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources and the regulator to draw up plans, issue guidelines and directions to prevent any such recurrence, in the national interest.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to immediately approve a site for and the building of a new school for Gaelscoil Cluain Meala — the school is currently located in a substandard overcrowded building and has been waiting for approval for a new school for more than 12 years; and to ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, why hundreds of gardaí are still deployed in Rossport, County Mayo, to quash a peaceful protest while drug barons run free in Dublin, Limerick and elsewhere, drugs pour into our airports due to a lack of gardaí and this country and County Mayo are getting little or nothing from the Corrib gas; and whether it is acceptable to adopt the heavy-handed and oppressive Garda approach against local people in Mayo.

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