Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with several notices under Standing Order 32.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of the Government to ensure that Irish citizens are given the means to make an informed decision on the Lisbon treaty, with the level of public understanding of the treaty very poor, as two thirds of the population do not understand the treaty text, which in consideration of the fiasco regarding the Nice treaty is gross mismanagement by the Government and could lead to a "No" vote by default.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to discuss the scale of illegal fishing by non-Irish vessels in Irish waters which many Irish fishermen believe is being grossly under-reported due to the manner in which the fisheries protection service deploys its resources, and the fact that it is estimated that at least 9,000 tonnes of fish are being illegally caught in our waters each year amounting to a value of €45 million.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the deepening crisis in the economy with continuing job losses, the most recent being the announcement by Dell this afternoon that 200 jobs are to go in their Cherrywood plant in Dublin, the need for the Government to outline what new measures it proposes to introduce to sustain jobs in the economy, the urgent need for further upskilling and retraining of workers in vulnerable sectors and in vulnerable regions, and the need for the Government to offer immediate help and training to workers who have been affected by these job losses today.
