Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with notices under Standing Order 31 dealing with two different topics.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the jobs crisis now taking hold in Youghal, County Cork, where hundreds of people have lost their jobs recently and there are insufficient resources to upskill and train those who have lost their livelihoods.

I wish to seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of major national importance, namely, why local authorities are using taxpayers' money to frighten the courts into not enforcing notices imposed on them by the Health and Safety Authority for breaches of road safety regulations, and in particular why Donegal County Council is seeking an injunction at taxpayers' expense restraining the HSA from investigating it or prosecuting its staff regarding an accident in which Sinéad McDaid was tragically killed at road works in Carndonagh, Donegal. It is a disgrace.

Having considered the matters raised, I deem them not to be in order under Standing Order 31.
