Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on the Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the reduction of €28 million in the budget of Mayo General Hospital and community services in County Mayo for 2010 and the reduction of €50 million in the budget of University College Hospital, Galway and the devastating effect it will have on the people of County Mayo.

And County Galway.

Leading on from Deputy Lowry's comments, I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance once again, namely, the failure of the Government to ensure that, as the Taoiseach would state, everyone is sharing the pain, which, given the disgraceful example of the Judiciary and other higher civil servants, is patently not the case; and how long more the low and middle income workers can continue to make good the deficit by their financial pain.

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 save and protect the primary teacher substitute supply panel, which has been in existence since 1993, as the greatest losers will be tens of thousands of children in disadvantaged communities who will be deprived of a consistent service that was working well, is staffed by fully qualified and vetted personnel who the children and permanent staff know and is cost neutral. I call on all Members of the Oireachtas to support this service and the INTO in its efforts to defend and protect our education service.

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