Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on the Deputies in the order in which their notices were received.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to protect Ireland's independent foreign policy on international matters. I call on the Government to assert Ireland's independent and humanitarian view and call for the suspension of the use of arms in Libya by all groups and call on the United Nations to go back to its roots in conflict resolution and peacekeeping.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the changes announced in budget 2011 to the school transport scheme for primary school pupils, particularly in amalgamated schools which entered into agreements with the Department of Education and Skills which included a guarantee of free transport in return for the closure of a small local school; the damaging effects the changes are having on pupils and parents across the State; the need to debate the unwillingness of the Minister for Education and Skills to reverse the changes, and the consequences this may have for rural schools.
Having considered the matters raised, I consider they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
