James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the economy posed by the projected loss of 55,000 jobs in the construction sector, as outlined by the Construction Industry Federation, unless urgent action such as the reintroduction of home improvement grants, home insulation grants and school building projects is taken by the Government.
