Vol. 657 No. 1

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratais chun tairisceanna a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32. We will now deal with Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, why the Department of Education and Science is refusing to make a decision regarding a student who suffers from brittle asthma and, despite three letters having been sent seeking clarification, the student's school has yet to receive an acknowledgement from the Department.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the less well-off caused by the soaring cost of home heating and fuel bills, according to a report published yesterday which warned that 144,171 homes experienced fuel poverty as early as 2005, with the lowest earners forced to spend approximately 13% of disposal income on energy, with Sustainable Energy Ireland saying that the average home spends €1,767 on heat and power, an increase of 70% on 16 years ago.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32. Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
