Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with several notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on Deputies in the order in which the notices were submitted. Since Deputy Michael Healy Rae is not here I call Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin.

Perhaps someone submitted it on his behalf.

No, they did not. The matter concerns the fair deal scheme. I requested it but I acknowledge the matter on the Adjournment has been provided to me and, therefore, I do not believe it is appropriate to press it.

Thank you Deputy. I call Deputy Gerry Adams.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following matter of urgent public importance, namely, the decision by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to amalgamate Dundalk Port Company with the Dublin Port Company, the implications for the future of the port and whether this could include the development of the port as a social amenity.

Having considered the matter raised, I do not consider it to be in order under Standing Order 32. I am sure this comes as a bit of a shock to the Deputy but, unfortunately, that is it.
