I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the renewed threat of post office closures across the country, which must be addressed by the Government in the interest of rural communities.

Deputies:

Hear, hear.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that the Taoiseach yesterday flatly contradicted the Minister for Transport's repeated assertions that, even in difficult economic circumstances, the necessary funding will be provided for Transport 21 projects. This means major projects such as metro north may, as a direct result, be deferred or put on the long finger. The truth is that cutbacks and time delays are being plotted in the Department of the Taoiseach even while progress in motion meetings on Transport 21 are being held with Members.
