Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I propose to deal with these topics separately and I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

Notwithstanding the debate on the pork crisis, I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, the horrific gunning down of a law-abiding citizen in inner city Dublin at the weekend and the urgent need for the Government to take action to tackle the easy availability of dangerous offensive weapons and the abject failure to date of legislative measures aimed at tackling anti-social and violent behaviour in our cities and on our streets.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the immediate need for the reversal of the savage cuts in education which are punishing children, teachers and parents for the economic mismanagement of the Government and which are undermining our entire education system, a cornerstone for the recovery and development of our economy and society, as demonstrated by the massive public support of up to 60,000 people at the rally in Dublin against the cuts on last Saturday, 6 December 2008.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the shooting dead in cold blood of a resident of East Wall, Dublin 1, the earlier targeting and terrorising of the same man and many of his neighbours, the failure of the Government to deal with anti-social behaviour which is becoming embedded in many urban communities and the complete failure of this Government and the previous two Administrations to deal with the increasing availability and deadly use of illegally held guns.
