Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the immediate need for the reversal of the savage cuts in education which are punishing children, teachers and parents for the economic mismanagement of the Government and which are undermining our entire education system, a cornerstone for the recovery and development of our economy and society, as demonstrated by the massive public support of up to 60,000 people at the rally in Dublin against the cuts on last Saturday, 6 December 2008.
