Vol. 722 No. 1

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32

Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32 and I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for a debate on the current bailout crisis; the need for solidarity in the face of external attack; the need to debate all our other options no matter how appalling they may be; the possible potential of an immediate all-party budget to defuse the current crisis; the absolute imperative of resisting external pressure to seek a bailout which would lock us indefinitely into penal bond rates; the need to remind other countries, particularly Germany, that it was low interest rates, especially in the 1990s, dictated by Germany and designed to support its sluggish economy even while it was inappropriate to ours that at least in part caused our property bubble and the requirement for it to reciprocate that support and to respect our national determination to retain our sovereignty.

Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun déileáil leis an rún seo atá gá plé leis go práinneach: the urgent need for the Government to intercede with the Israeli authorities and to condemn the fact that the rogue state is preventing Shawan Jabarin, a leading Palestinian human rights activist, from travelling to Ireland to receive an award from National University of Ireland, NUI, Galway; to welcome the recent Irish efforts at European level to prevent Israeli access to the personal data of Irish citizens; to note that such concrete efforts by Ireland to stand up to Israel are long overdue; to express deep disappointment and anger that those efforts were unsuccessful and to call on the Government to take a further stand and demand the European Commission give due regard to the democratically expressed wishes of the Irish people and halt the planned agreement.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the recent speculation that Ireland will be forced to accept assistance from the stability fund and the International Monetary Fund, IMF.

Having given the matters full consideration, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 32.
