I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the kidnapping of Irish GOAL worker Sharon Commins from Clontarf and her Ugandan colleague, Hilda Kuwuki; I call for their immediate release and for all Oireachtas Members to support the Commins family at this difficult time and I commend all of those working on Sharon's behalf behind the scenes.

Ba mhaith liom cead a lorg an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun an gnó práinneach seo a leanas a phlé: to condemn the brutal murder of father of two, Wayne Doherty, in Hartstown last Saturday night and to extend sympathies to his family, friends and neighbours; the urgent need for the Government to respond by lifting the Garda recruitment, promotion and overtime bans and by correctly resourcing gardaí by making appropriate training and technologies available including secure digital radio and surveillance equipment and for communities to assist An Garda Síochána in its efforts and to be properly protected when doing so, all of which are imperative if we are to effectively face down gangland crime.

I seek to adjourn the House under Standing Order 32 to discuss the proposals to revalue existing mortgages on owner-occupied houses so that mortgages and repayments are based on current value rather than the value of the house when the mortgage was taken and to renegotiate all existing mortgages for householders which would represent an enormous relief to tens of thousands of families burdened by huge repayments and negative equity.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious cutbacks imposed on the funding and maintenance of roads nationally and taking into account the cut of €3.8 million to the roads programme in the South Tipperary County Council budget; and to ask the Minister to clarify how roads are to be properly maintained at such low levels of funding given that poor roads and infrastructure cause major issues for tourism and businesses not to mention the damage to people's vehicles.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to immediately intervene in the electricians' strike which is putting thousands of jobs throughout the country at risk at a time when the cost and terms of rising unemployment figures and social breakdown would be disastrous, with unemployment having reached 11.9%, the second highest level in Europe and 413,500 people signing on the live register and with the Taoiseach predicting 500,000 to be unemployed by the end of the year.
