I ask that the House be adjourned under the terms of Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of urgent national importance: the abject failure of the Government to deliver its own priority objectives in the national youth work development plan including, for example, the appointment of an assessor for youth work, the capacity building of youth work organisations and the VECs and the establishment of a developments unit for youth work, despite funding having been available from the start of this year, and the negative implications for the future development of meaningful youth projects.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise the following matter of urgent national importance: the need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to double the winter fuel allowance payable to social welfare recipients in view of the recent 25% increase in the price of gas from 1 October and the fact that the €9 fuel allowance will not now even buy a bag of coal, which costs €12.50.

Having considered the matters raised, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 31.
