I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the proposed lay-offs at Kostal Ireland at Mallow and Abbeyfeale and the need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Mary Coughlan, to engage with the automotive industry and wider car dealership industry to stem further job losses, particularly for those who are engaged in the production of automotive parts and to find ways to assist the industry through the involvement of all relevant State agencies and where possible to ensure the social welfare entitlements of workers on short-term contracts are not adversely affected.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to urgently address the issues raised in the Environmental Protection Agency report, published today, which found that almost 30% of rivers are polluted and half of ground-water supplies are contaminated which is very worrying and distressing.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to debate the measures announced yesterday by the EU Commission which will mean the closure of the north-west white fishery, a 15% cut in the prawn quota and up to 25% cuts in other species and to demand that the Government totally rejects this latest attack on the fishing sector at the Brussels meeting in December and refuses to accept any further EU diktats on fishing pending a complete review of management and quota.
