Vol. 686 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 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 national importance, namely, the threat to our economic stability posed by continued Government ineptitude as highlighted by the latest report of the International Monetary Fund, which claims that the Irish economy is the most overheated of all advanced economies with the collapse of tax revenue potentially pushing the deficit to 12% of national income and Irish banks facing losses of €35 billion by next year.

Georgie Porgie.

You could address the issue involved Deputy Brady.

(Interruptions).

I seek the adjournment of the House under Standing Order 32 to discuss the arrival of the Solitaire at Broadhaven Bay yesterday afternoon to begin laying a pipe for the Corrib gas field, the fact that there is strong local opposition to the project for health, safety and economic reasons and the fact that local campaigners, some of whom were arrested last night, have been recently targeted in a series of sinister and violent attacks.

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.

This discredited Government should resign.

Does the Deputy even know what IMF stands for? What does it stand for?
