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 current public negativity towards entitlements over equality would indicate it is time for members of the Judiciary to forgo their entitlement to remain outside the pension levy or other cutbacks pertaining to senior civil servants, without necessitating a costly referendum on the issue and for recent appointees provided with well paid jobs by the Taoiseach, but clinging to ministerial or other pensions, to give these up as a matter of course.
