Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (3 Jul 2008)

Fergus O'Dowd: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that the Taoiseach yesterday flatly contradicted the Minister for Transport's repeated assertions that, even in difficult economic circumstances, the necessary funding will be provided for Transport 21 projects.

Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)
