Ba mhaith liom cead a lorg an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun déileáil leis an gnó práinneach agus rí-thábhachtach seo a leanas, the need for immediate emergency action to relocate mentally ill patients from three hospitals deemed by the Mental Health Commission to be unfit for human habitation, and the broader abject failure of the Government to protect the rights and dignity of the mentally ill as evidenced by the commission's finding and by an incident yesterday where a homeless mentally ill woman, having been forcibly released from prison, attempted to rescale the wall of Mountjoy Prison because she had nowhere to go.

Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
