Anois, iarratais chun tairisceana a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Now we come to deal with requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.

I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to students and their parents posed by the Government's decision to make substantial increases in registration charges for third level courses, which will create a barrier to access, and is nothing less than the introduction of fees by stealth.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to indicate the measures he is considering to reassure citizens regarding water quality in this country, the action plan he is putting in place to ensure there is no risk to public health arising from the appalling contamination in 23 locations around the country identified to date, and to discuss this matter of enormous importance to all of us, namely, the issue of public health in the context of water quality.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of national importance, namely, for the Minister for Transport to make an urgent statement to this House on the proposed new €74 million cost-cutting plan announced by Aer Lingus, including up to 1,500 proposed job losses and the massive outsourcing of ground operation jobs, and given the economic and social devastation this proposal will cause, especially in north and west Dublin, in the mid-Leinster region and in Shannon and the mid-west, that the Minister urgently report on what directions he has given the Government appointed directors to the board of Aer Lingus, in the light of the mandate he spoke about in this House last week. I am disappointed the Ceann Comhairle has not allowed a private notice question on this serious matter.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to call on the Minister for Transport to demand that Aer Lingus enter into meaningful negotiations on the proposed staff reductions with the workers and unions over a reasonable timeframe beyond 30 November 2008, in view of the disastrous effect this will have on Aer Lingus staff at Shannon Airport and their families and on the entire mid-west region. Like Deputy Broughan, I am disappointed a private notice question I also tabled on this matter has not been allowed.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the alarming rise in unemployment in County Kerry, which has increased by more than 50% in the past year, with more than 1,000 construction workers in the county losing their jobs or emigrating in the past six months, and the fact the recent dramatic rise in the numbers out of work is already higher than the rate for the State as a whole.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matters fully, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
