I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the shocking economic forecast for Ireland published yesterday which states that job numbers in Ireland will not return to their 2007 peak until 2021, leaving workers and families to endure deprivation of biblical proportions for the next 12 years as they are hit by the most severe recession since the Second World War, which has been driven by Government mismanagement of our current and future economic stability.

Deputies:

Hear, hear.

The Government should take note of the biblical element.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to support small businesses on the north side of Dublin that are under major financial strain and to call on the Ministers for Finance and Enterprise, Trade and Employment to act now to prevent further job losses.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to postpone implementation of elements of the proposed work permit rules concerning migrants resident in Ireland pending a full evaluation of the impact this will have on the exploitation of workers and the cost implications to the Irish taxpayer of these changes through social welfare, lost taxes, the undermining of tax compliant employment via the development of the black economy and, the increased cost of forced deportations.
