Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
I seek the adjournment of the House under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of urgent public concern, namely, the ongoing and worsening crisis in Zimbabwe and the need for the matter to be fully debated in Dáil Éireann so as to discuss the urgent and appropriate action that Ireland, its partners in the European Union and the African Union should take and such actions as are appropriate in response to the most recent statements of the United Nations.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to our competitiveness caused by the Government's failure to tackle the deficit in broadband provision allied with the sham and hollow echoes of the Government's next generation strategy to be announced next week claiming that Ireland will enjoy broadband speeds which will be among the highest in Europe by 2012 with, as we know, basic broadband roll-out still outstanding in many areas, including my own.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious problem of illiteracy which still exists and which was highlighted recently on RTE with the programme "Written Off?" which ran over eight weeks. The fact that people are trying to live their daily lives in today's society without being able to read or write is a real injustice and must be urgently addressed.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following important matter, namely, that the Minister for Transport will urgently bring the long-promised reform of the 1932 bus licensing legislation before Dáil Éireann prior to the end of this Dáil session given the recent collapse of the Celbridge and Lucan Circle Line bus services and the ongoing licensing and operational difficulties for a number of bus companies, including Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann, due to the complete failure of the Minister and his predecessors to reform the 1932 legislation.
I look forward to Deputy Broughan's support.
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.
