I seek leave under Standing Order 32 to have the business of the Dáil adjourned to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely, the impact of the withdrawal from Protestant fee paying schools of the support services grant, the unilateral breaking of the formal agreement between former Minister Donogh O'Malley and Church of Ireland bishops representing all Protestant faith based schools, the effective deprivation of disadvantaged Protestant faith children from receiving an education within the ethos chosen by their parents, given that the number of such schools in the State is limited to 21 in just 13 counties, and that for a paltry saving the Minister has arbitrarily ended the long-standing acceptance of the necessity to facilitate Protestant ethos education for disadvantaged children of that faith.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of local and national importance, namely, the fact the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, and the Health Service Executive have totally reneged on their commitment and their guarantee to the people of Monaghan that no service would be removed from Monaghan General Hospital until a service as good or better would be available. This very day the management is calling in the unions and later all of the personnel working there to advise what the future will hold for them. I have no doubt from the statements made by senior personnel that if nothing is done through this House, those meetings will have a serious negative effect on the people of Monaghan. In recent times Cavan General Hospital has had to send its patients home before it was prudent or sensible and major questions have still to be answered over some of these cases. Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda had to be taken off call and all this before 58 beds were removed. This is an emergency.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil on the following matter of regional and national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the need for the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, to intervene directly to require the Health Service Executive not to proceed with its plan to remove, by the end of November, all acute medical services from Monaghan General Hospital to Cavan General Hospital, the consequences of which will undoubtedly entail great inconvenience, unnecessary suffering and in some cases the avoidable deaths of patients.
