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 their notices were submitted to my office. First, I call on Deputy Healy-Rae. I will move on to Deputy Joan Collins.

Under Standing Order 32 of the Dáil, I move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following matter of urgent public importance, namely, the announcement that 2,000 Allied Irish Bank workers are to be made redundant, the implications of this for the workers concerned, for the economy in general and for the already shocking numbers of workers who are unemployed.

Under Standing Order 32, I seek the adjourn the House to discuss the planned laying off of 2,000 AIB workers, the impact that will have on the workers concerned and the fact that bank staff are being made to suffer while many of those who were directly responsible for the banking crisis have subsequently benefited in the form of large bonuses and have not been held to account for their actions.
