James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that one in five members of the Judiciary has failed to make a contribution towards the pension levy. I first raised the matter of the inequality arising from the exemption of the Judiciary from this levy almost one year ago on 17 February 2009, but the matter has not been resolved. In common with other higher civil servants, the Judiciary is being let off the hook.
