Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31. I will call the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the inordinate delay in the introduction of a national immunisation database to replace the existing 50 separate databases which result in the duplication of patients' vaccination records; the failure of the Health Service Executive to sanction the €19 million required for the project; the consequent difficulties created for agencies such as the National Disease Surveillance Centre in endeavouring to estimate uptake rates accurately; and calls on the Government to resolve these difficulties forthwith by expediting the provision of the national immunisation database as a matter of urgency.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for resources to be allocated to deal with the problems of anti-social behaviour, vandalism, violence and intimidation being experienced by ordinary working people in many housing estates, including, for example the possibility of setting up a special Garda response unit to work with community gardaí in tackling these issues case by case.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to withdraw the staff cutbacks imposed by him on regional fisheries boards, including the reduction of 1.5 whole-time equivalents from the Southern Regional Fisheries Board. As these boards already operate on a shoestring budget and are increasingly unable to meet their service demands, the cutbacks will cripple the regional fisheries board. I call on the Minister to withdraw these cutbacks and make a statement on the matter.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the claim by Judge Harding Clark that the Health Service Executive had failed to implement many of the recommendations contained in her report of the inquiry into the hysterectomies carried out at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, and the need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to report to the House on the steps she intends to take to ensure all recommendations of the report are promptly implemented.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to review the operation of the new weighted model of allocation of resource teachers to children with special learning needs in light of its negative effect on schools, such as St. Michael's, Inchicore, which have a high number of such pupils.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to hear how the Corrib gas pipeline plan is still a threat to the people of Rossport, how the people of Ireland will not benefit from the gas coming ashore and how the Government needs to face up to making ends meet for Ireland without relying on fossil fuels as a matter of national responsibility and in the interests of global peace, stability and sustainability.

Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
