I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the economic viability of the farming industry as a result of the Government's refusal to extend the deadline for the farm waste management scheme beyond 31 December 2008 or to engage in constructive negotiations with the European Commission, despite the fact that such a refusal will destroy the livelihoods of farmers, which have already been decimated by Government mismanagement of the sector, adverse weather conditions, bureaucracy and excessive red tape.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to facilitate a debate on a matter of national importance, namely, the withdrawal of a grant of €8,500 to the Union of Students of Ireland for mental health awareness week, which takes place from 10 to 14 November and of which the Government has been aware for two years; it is planned for the awareness week to take place in 21 third level institutions throughout the country and this represents a great opportunity to present an audience with a single message regarding mental health; the theme of the week is "coping and well-being" and it aims to show students the benefits of an active lifestyle and destigmatise mental illness; the week is organised by students and aimed at them.

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.
