I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance, namely, the laying off of 270 workers by Dublin Bus and the urgent need to support them; and the disgraceful closure of SR Technics, which was announced to the shock and horror of all employees, especially as Scandinavian Airlines, Gulf Air and LAN Chile wanted to keep their servicing at the Dublin base and work with the quality 1,135 staff. I call on the Minister and all parties in the Dáil to come up with sensible solutions to these matters.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the call for cuts in social welfare payments which, if initiated, would be an obscene move by a Government which, having driven people out of work, would then be depriving them of the basic means of survival.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the long delays being experienced by passengers at passport control at Dublin Airport since Christmas and the consequential damage to Ireland's trade and economy, and its reputation among visitors from other countries; and the need for the Government to take immediate action to resolve the issues at the Garda National Immigration Bureau that have led to the present difficulties.

What is going on there is disgraceful.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment immediately engages with the management and workers at SR Technics to prevent the closure of this critical aviation and engineering company; and if she will also urgently engage with all of the relevant State agencies and stakeholders at Dublin Airport, including the Dublin Airport Authority, IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and all the airline carriers to ensure that the 1,200 SR Technics jobs are maintained and that the renowned centre of excellence in aircraft maintenance and engineering at Dublin Airport and other locations in Ireland is protected for the local and national economy.

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need to compel the former chairman of Anglo Irish Bank, Mr. Seán FitzPatrick, to appear before the Oireachtas Committee on Economic and Regulatory Affairs, for legislation to be enacted to empower the Oireachtas to order persons under scrutiny of any committee to make an appearance and to furnish any documents requested by the Oireachtas and to make it a criminal offence to refuse to co-operate with any such requests.

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 Education and Science to urgently revisit his decision to cut resource classes in schools, including St. Eithne's in Edenmore, Dublin, and make 128 special needs teachers redundant. This cutback is cruel and a disgrace, and it will only have a negative effect on young children trying to learn in our schools.
