Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call 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 current public negativity towards entitlements over equality would indicate it is time for members of the Judiciary to forgo their entitlement to remain outside the pension levy or other cutbacks pertaining to senior civil servants, without necessitating a costly referendum on the issue and for recent appointees provided with well paid jobs by the Taoiseach, but clinging to ministerial or other pensions, to give these up as a matter of course.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter, namely, the possible redundancies in the Quinn Group as suggested by the administrator, which have been clearly accepted by the Government in the fact that Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation proposes to get FÁS involved in the upgrading and reskilling of some of the Quinn workforce, in spite of the fact that the highly trained and qualified workforce were often used to train FÁS personnel themselves. It is vital that this Dáil, and especially the Government, take whatever steps are necessary to safeguard the 3,000 jobs involved directly and indirectly in the Quinn Insurance business by ensuring that Northern Ireland and the general UK market are reopened for business.

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