I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to, first, support all victims of thalidomide, second, to support strongly the 32 families, and, finally, to call on the Minister for Health and Children to revisit the issue of State compensation as a matter of urgency.
