Catherine Byrne (Dublin South Central, Fine Gael)

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.
