Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I wish to seek an adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, because of the awful financial struggle that families have to survive at present, it is only right, fair and proper, if the Government is going to go ahead in introducing a household tax, that it should be debated in the house this week, and all Members should have an opportunity to speak on the matter.
