Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32. I call on Deputy Terence Flanagan who has submitted the notice to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the urgent need for the Taoiseach to intervene to ensure that the Knockamann facility for the intellectually disabled on the grounds of St. Ita's Hospital is opened immediately. This new facility cost €14 million and was built 14 months ago. Its closure is having a detrimental effect on a daily basis on the lives of the 170 residents of St. Ita's who are living in conditions that are in urgent need of refurbishment. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure that this new facility is opened without any further delay.
