James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

Leading on from Deputy Lowry's comments, I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance once again, namely, the failure of the Government to ensure that, as the Taoiseach would state, everyone is sharing the pain, which, given the disgraceful example of the Judiciary and other higher civil servants, is patently not the case; and how long more the low and middle income workers can continue to make good the deficit by their financial pain.
