Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on 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 discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to support and protect all children in this State; to thank and commend foster parents for the valuable work they have done in assisting vulnerable children; to welcome the establishment of an independent group to examine the deaths of children in HSE care; and to call on all Members of the Oireachtas to support all children at risk with proper support services.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the implications for patients of the fact that more than 57,000 X-rays taken at Tallaght hospital were not reviewed by a consultant radiologist; and the need for an urgent review of management and supervision of consultants throughout the hospital network arising from this development.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of local and national importance, namely, the failure of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to pay REPS 4 grants to more than 30% of applicants who were promised payment before Christmas or immediately afterwards. Many of these farming families are under extreme pressure, partly due to a 33% fall in their incomes and the failure of the Government to deal with the banking crisis. It is vital this crisis for farming families is debated urgently.

Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun an cheist rí-thábhachtach seo a phlé, the urgent need for the Government to respond to the rogue Israeli State's intention to build a further 1,600 illegal settlement homes with swift and effective action by breaking the EU's do-nothing, business as usual consensus and by officially withdrawing Irish consent for the continuation of the association agreement that offers Israel preferential trade terms. This action is necessary to send Israel a clear message that its occupation is unpardonable, its blockade deplorable and its abuse of third party nationals, including through the theft of passports, intolerable. While I welcome the stance of the Minister for Foreign Affairs on Palestine, I ask the Taoiseach to support him against the insults made by EU spokesperson, Baroness Ashton, when he made his report to the EU.
