I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, in light of the serious national law and order problems, it is of urgent public importance that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform clarify the situation surrounding the 236 one-man rural Garda stations. They are vital in preventing our drug and crime problems from escalating into rural communities, which are dependent on the stations. Will the Minister take into account the important role played by these Garda stations, their effect on local communities and the serious anti-social behaviour and violence witnessed daily?

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the growing crisis in our public health services as a result of disastrous Government policy and savage cutbacks, including the loss of hundreds of front-line posts, thereby affecting the care of patients; the closure of wards in two major hospitals - Crumlin Children's Hospital and Beaumont Hospital; the end of 24-hour accident and emergency cover at Ennis and Nenagh hospitals and its already damaging effects; the impending removal of all acute care from Monaghan General Hospital; and the need for the Minister for Health and Children and her Government colleagues to make themselves accountable to the Dáil for this crisis for which they are directly responsible.

I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 on the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, in view of the likelihood of lengthy legal proceedings arising from the ongoing investigation by An Garda Síochána into the affairs of Anglo Irish Bank and an alleged golden circle, including the proposed developer of the so-called Carlton site in Dublin, will the Minister re-iterate his commitment to the preservation and security of the designated national monument at Nos. 14-17 Moore Street?

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the consequences of the Government's refusal to make available promised funding to local authorities to carry out repairs and refurbishments in local authority housing stock, in that houses are falling into disrepair, which causes their inhabitants health and safety problems.

I wish to seek leave for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance requiring urgent consideration, namely, the over 70s General Medical Services, GMS, card, and the undue stress and anger among the elderly caused by the complicated and lengthy application form that they must fill out despite passing the means test for the non-contributory pension. Thousands of pensioners could lose their cards unjustly.
