I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the democratic process and the exercise of the rights of citizenship posed by the Government's failure to ensure by means such as automatic registration that young people are registered to vote, with 30% of 18-25 year olds not registered.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following matter of national importance requiring immediate address, namely, the extent of the knowledge of the Minister for Finance and-or his Department of the irregular transactions between Anglo Irish Bank and other financial institutions including Irish Nationwide Building Society and Irish Life & Permanent when he proposed to the Houses of the Oireachtas on 20 January the nationalisation of Anglo Irish Bank; the full facts now known to him of the extent of the irregularities that were apparently endemic in this State-owned bank; and how he proposes to hold accountable those who have clearly abused their positions of trust and responsibility, and if this includes consideration of prosecution through the courts.

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.

It is difficult to credit that you do not consider that last matter appropriate given the seriousness of the situation.

That is a decision for the Chair.
