I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Transport to make an urgent statement to the House on whether he has been briefed on any proposed programme of cutbacks to Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus services and jobs and whether his Department or his colleague, the Minister for Finance, have suggested any series of cutbacks for public transport companies and operators, in particular in view of plans to improve the modal shift to public transport.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to publish the report of Deputy Garda Commissioner, Eugene Crowley, on the shooting dead by the British army of Aidan McAnespie at Aughnacloy on the Monaghan-Tyrone border on 21 February 1988, in light of the report of the historical inquiries team of the PSNI, which has concluded that the version of the shooting given by the British soldier responsible was not credible.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to extend the slurry spreading period until the end of the year, as has been done in the Six Counties by the agriculture Minister, Michelle Gildernew, due to the extreme bad weather conditions that have prevented farmers doing so within the normal time and noting that the Minister has already recognised the difficulties that have been caused when he earlier granted an extension to the original deadline.
