I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the dangerous lack of powers given to prison officers to catch and detain visitors caught bringing drugs into prisons, leading to a lack of prosecutions and to criminals being allowed walk out of prisons; and the failure of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to legislate for these powers for prison officers.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, in light of the damaging revelation last night by the Irish Blood Transfusion Service that the personal data of over 170,000 donors have been stolen in New York, the urgent need for the Minister for Health and Children to provide a full and detailed statement to the House on the current situation and the steps being taken to protect these donors from fraud or other abuses of their personal data.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the very serious concern in the housing sector that 35% of those living in private rented accommodation are already living below the poverty line; that 544 privately rented units out of 999 inspected by Dublin City Council were found not to be in compliance with minimum standards regulations; that people are very often forced into private rented accommodation as a result of the lack of social housing units available in their local authority and the subsequent threat of homelessness; that the standards regulations regarding the private rented sector have not been updated since 1993; and the need for the Minister of State with responsibility for housing to address these concerns as a matter of priority and to ensure that, at the very least, funding for 9,125 social housing units, as promised for this year in Towards 2016, is provided to afford people with sustainable housing options and prevent further risk of poverty.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to make clear her intentions with regard to the provision of essential applied behaviour analysis education for children with autism in light of the expectation now created by her party colleagues in the Oireachtas that the inflexible attitude of the Department in this regard may change.

Having considered the matters raised, I do not deem them in order under Standing Order 32.
