Anois, iarratais chun tairisceana a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. 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.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter of national importance, namely, the need for an urgent investigation by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, into the serious question marks hanging over the process which allowed Dublin City Council arrive at a decision to grant permission for the development of the Jury's site in Ballsbridge. The Taoiseach referred in his speech to the property bubble which has developed over the past ten years. Inherent in this is a distortion of the planning process whereby planning decisions are influenced by dependence on development levies in order to fund local government activities. This is unsustainable and I call on the Government to initiate an independent investigation under the auspices of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, to investigate the flawed process by which Dublin City Council arrived at this decision and in order to make recommendations to avoid such a problem arising in the future.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the economic mismanagement by the current Government which has seen unemployment double in the past 18 months and the national debt likewise double in the same period, begging the question as to how far the country has to deteriorate before every man and woman in the nation stands up to such political abuse.
