I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the difficulties being experienced by employees who have lost their jobs, and employers whose businesses have been forced to close down, in accessing social welfare assistance and entitlements, despite both sectors having paid tax and PRSI in respect of themselves or their employees, often over long periods of time.

Ba mhaith liom go gcuirfí an Dáil ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun plé práinneach a dhéanamh ar ábhar rí-thábhachtach don phobal, namely, the urgent need for the Government to demand the immediate release of the Irish citizens and others aboard the Spirit of Humanity, which was on its way from Cyprus to Palestine to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza but yesterday fell victim to the Israeli navy's piracy in international waters; to demand the return of the confiscated humanitarian aid that was on board including medicine, toys, olive trees and cement, all of which had been cleared by the customs authorities in Cyprus, which is an EU member state; to demand that Israel release the boat and allow it to proceed on its way; and, in light of the Israeli blockade on Gaza, to end all preferential trading agreements with Israel.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the impounding of two fishing vessels belonging to Pat O'Donnell and his son, Jonathan O'Donnell, whose attempts to pursue a livelihood in Broadhaven Bay are being threatened by the laying of a gas pipeline, particularly given that a local processing factory that employs seven people will not be able to operate if it is no longer supplied by the catch from the two boats.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the implications for the public finances of the statistics published by the Central Statistics Office yesterday, which show that the economy contracted at an unprecedented pace of 12% over the past 12 months whereas in the supplementary budget two months ago, the Government predicted it would contract by 8%; and the consequences of this shortfall, which suggests that the budget for 2009 is already seriously off course and further emergency budgetary adjustment could be required.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32.

Was Deputy Lee's matter not of national importance?

Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.

I wonder what it would take to have the House adjourned under Standing Order 32.
