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 call firstly on Deputy Finian McGrath.

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 the residents of Marino and Fairview in Dublin 3 in their efforts to get back the full service of the 123 bus; and to call on the Minister for Transport, Dublin City Council, Dublin Bus and the Garda Síochána to ensure that this is a priority issue.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of vital importance to rural Ireland, namely the proposal by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to ban hunting under the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010, which is in essence a ban on the rural way of life, heritage, tradition, tourism and the rural economy by an urban-directed legislative provision against the countryside and country pursuits. It was interesting to hear the Taoiseach speak earlier about promoting a cultural ambassador in the USA, while the green tail is wagging the brown republican dog all over this country.

What about the poor stag?

Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32. I now call on the Taoiseach to announce the Order of Business.
