Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32.

Under the provisions of Standing Order 32, I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to build and develop Ireland's relationship with Cuba, calling on the Irish Government to support an end to the blockade at European and United Nations level and welcoming to Ireland this week Victor Dreke Cruz, the veteran of the Bay of Pigs and deputy chairman of the Association of Combatants of the Cuban Revolution. I hope the Tánaiste will raise this issue for me. Viva Ché.

Having considered the matter, I am afraid it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
