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 our economic stability posed by continued Government ineptitude as highlighted by the latest report of the International Monetary Fund, which claims that the Irish economy is the most overheated of all advanced economies with the collapse of tax revenue potentially pushing the deficit to 12% of national income and Irish banks facing losses of €35 billion by next year.
