Anois, iarratais chun tairiscint a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. We will now deal with requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to ensure all public and private premises have proper fire safety measures in place. I welcome the €3 million to date paid out for the purpose of assisting the Stardust victims committee, call for the maximum fire safety plans to be put in place at the Dublin Port tunnel and call on all Members of the Oireachtas to support our staff in the fire service.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the continual and chronic underfunding of the Garda Síochána highlighted in a recent independent report by the Garda audit committee, particularly against the background of wealthy, well resourced criminal gangs and the continual litany of gangland violence and murders throughout the State, particularly in Limerick.

The Ceann Comhairle should not look at me so crossly. I raise this matter every day.

He is always cross.

I get the same response. This morning the Ceann Comhairle is particularly cross.

Very cross.

I was not even thinking of Deputy Flanagan.

Perhaps that is the problem, the Ceann Comhairle is not even thinking of the issues.
