Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an important matter, namely, the proposed closure of agricultural colleges throughout Ireland, including the colleges at Mountbellew, Clonakilty, Pallaskenry and Gurteen; the proposals to significantly curtail the Teagasc advisory service and its research facilities, which are needed to service an agricultural industry that may help this country through its darkest economic period; and the fact that if the Franciscan agricultural college in Mountbellew closes, there will be no agricultural college in the west of Ireland.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate a specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the impending announcement of significant job losses at the Sanmina-SCI plant in Fermoy, which is supported by IDA Ireland; the need to ensure those who lose their jobs will be helped to upgrade their skills and access their social welfare entitlements immediately; the need for officials from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Tánaiste to visit north and east Cork to meet representatives of Sanmina-SCI and other companies, such as Kostal, to try to stave off further job losses; and the need for the Government to intervene directly to assist companies in the region that are under severe financial pressure at this time.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, in consideration of the spectre of "blue 'flu" which is still hanging over the country, the perceived threat of further action as off-duty gardaí are forced to march to Dáil Éireann this afternoon to highlight the legitimate grievances regarding the pension levy.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to, first, discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to support all public sector workers in their efforts for justice and equity on the pension levy issue and, second, call on all Members of the Oireachtas to support the Irish Congress of Trade Unions social solidarity pact as a strategy to resolve this matter.
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that problems with apartment living have reached crisis point with the revelation that many developers are refusing to pay service charges for unsold units which are subsequently being charged to apartment owners; and the urgent need for the Bill on multi-unit developments, which will regulate property management companies, to be brought forward immediately to protect apartment owners from crippling service charges.
Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nitheardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 32.
