I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of national importance, namely, the policy of An Post to close and run down rural post offices thereby depriving local communities of vital services and, in particular, the recent decision of An Post management to close and sell Cahir post office and to franchise out the services, and to allow the Minister to make a statement on the matter.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate a matter of national importance, namely, why the ESB should be allowed to ignore its public service obligation and continue to pursue its policy of closing all retail outlets, leaving a skeleton service, and its intention to close Ballina and Castlebar ESB retail customer services so no retail facility will remain in Mayo, obliging Mayo people to travel to Sligo or Galway.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of national concern, namely, the decision of the Health Service Executive to cease holding regional monthly media briefing meetings in the absence of monthly health board meetings and to call on the Health Service Executive immediately to reinstate formal monthly information briefings for public representatives and the media.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate a matter of national interest, namely, the increasing body of scientific evidence highlighting the need for urgent action to tackle the climate change crisis and the utter failure of the Government to address this issue or to plan the dramatic cuts in carbon emissions that would be needed for us to play our part in keeping global levels below the 400 parts per million concentration in the atmosphere, as was recommended in a report published last week which showed that going above such a level would trigger an irreversible climate change process.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate an important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the acquisition of a site for a hotel development at Trim Castle and the development of a car park at the same site, the misuse of European funds, the delay in seeking the return of such funds and the role played by the then Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in the controversy.
