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 protect all disability services in the current economic climate. There is also the need to support the Central Remedial Clinic in Clontarf, St. Michael's House and Prosper Fingal Disability Services with adequate funding in 2009 and 2010 and ensure that all broad economic decisions are based on protecting disability services as a priority and particularly the elderly parents of adults with a disability.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the livelihoods of Irish farmers caused by the budgetary cutbacks which have resulted in cuts to farm waste management grants, forestry grants, suckler cow grants to name but a few.

The issue has now been extended to organic growers and producers, and I am disappointed the Green Party is not here to listen to this.

Multiple retailers have demanded a 40% price cut, which is impossible given that no organic producer is coming anywhere near a margin of 40%. This is another significant blow to the agriculture industry, which is badly hit by the Government's failure to honour financial commitments to the sector.

Now, a Cheann Comhairle, are you not going to look after the suckler cows?

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
