Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
I propose to deal with a notice of motion under Standing Order 31 from Deputy Yates. I call on Deputy Yates to state the matter of which he has given notice to me.
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be one contemplated by Standing Order 31 and, therefore, I cannot grant leave to move the motion.
Order of Business.
There are no proposals to be put to the House. I call Deputy John Bruton on the Order of Business.
Deputy Yates should resume his seat.

I have ruled on the matter on which I have allowed much latitude. I remind the Deputy that we are on the Order of Business.
