I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat caused by the abysmal failure of the Government to achieve last year's Kyoto limits on carbon emissions, in light of the EPA reporting emissions levels of 69.28 million tonnes, or more than 6.5 million tonnes over the Kyoto limit of 62.84 million tonnes, the admission by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government that meeting the 2020 targets will be an enormous task and the inadequacy of the solution he has put forward, which comprises a directive to Dublin City Council to fix the potholes in cycle lanes.

Deputies:

Hear, hear.

I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the 23 young farmers in County Kerry who were notified in July that they have qualified for FETAC grants and had been guaranteed in writing by Teagasc that they would receive their certificates within six weeks of that date, but who have not yet received the aforementioned certificates. Will the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food provide a guarantee that these young farmers are still eligible for installation aid?

I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the withdrawal of surgical services from Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, thereby denying the people of the Louth catchment area access to proper health care and further overcrowding Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, which is unfair and dangerous to staff and patients at both hospitals.

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.
