Vol. 664 No. 1

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratais chun tairisceana a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Now we come to deal with requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Government to give greater financial assistance, advice and support to mortgage holders who fall into arrears as a result of loss of employment or serious illness, and to examine the aggressive practices that some sub-prime lenders such as Start Mortgages use to deal with such mortgage holders.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to take all necessary measures to ensure the retention of the maximum possible number of jobs at Waterford Crystal in view of the announcement of a further 280 redundancies at the company.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to discuss the ongoing concerns on the outsourcing of smear testing to the USA and, furthermore, to discuss the cervical screening programme plan to initially limit colposcopy treatment to 11 centres and to assure the colposcopy team and constituents in Donegal that the service at Letterkenny General Hospital will remain.

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