Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the erosion of the country's finances by the Government's wilful squandering of the residue of the wealth of the Celtic tiger years, the latest fiasco concerning Progresa, the successor to PPARS.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national and local importance, namely, that 130 people are losing their jobs at Grove Turkeys, Smithboro, County Monaghan, together with approximately 75 job losses at Kingspan, Kingscourt, County Cavan, and hundreds of others in smaller numbers from different industries in the Border region. There is an urgent need for Government action to stop the drift and it is vital that there be a full debate in this House regarding the indirect charges and costs that many of these units are being asked to bear, thus leading to lack of competitiveness. While I was glad to hear the small discussion on this topic some time ago, there were certainly no answers.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the mounting toll of job losses throughout the country, including the loss of 130 jobs at Grove Turkeys, Smithboro, County Monaghan, and the need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to act to avert these losses as well as address urgently the development deficit in the Border region which leaves the local economy there more vulnerable than other regions to any economic slowdown.

Having considered the matters, I do not believe they are in order under Standing Order 32 .
