Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office. I call firstly on Deputy Terence Flanagan.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to appoint an inspector from his Department to assess the health and safety concerns of residents of the Carndonagh Road in Donaghmede and all local residents with regard to operations carried out by Barnmore Demolition and Civil Engineering Limited in the Baldoyle Industrial Estate. Communications from myself and local residents to Fingal County Council and Dublin City Council have been ignored. I ask the Minister to intervene, take charge and appoint an independent official from his Department to deal with the urgent health concerns of the residents.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the wilful destruction of much of our national heritage for expediency and the knock-on effects of such action on tourism and economic growth.

Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 32. I now call on the Taoiseach to announce the Order of Business.
