Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of 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 raise a matter of national importance, namely, the undue problems being faced by small national schools as a result of the economic constraints placed on the Department of Education and Skills. For example, Ballaphousta national school in Ardee, County Louth will lose a class teacher because it is short one pupil for the quota. It will also lose its special needs assistant and its resource teacher.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Health to take immediate and urgent action to prevent a huge crisis in our public hospital accident and emergency departments and the closure of such departments in many hospitals from 11 July due to the shortage of junior doctors and the failure of successive Governments to address the total over-reliance of the system on junior doctors.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, to discuss the cuts in home help hours on a national basis which are having a detrimental effect on our elderly population. Although mindful of the horrendous job facing the Minister for Health, who should not be blamed in trying to deal with the budgetary cutbacks that have to be implemented by the Health Service Executive, cutting home help hours and obliging people to be cared for in hospital will potentially cost the State more than caring for these persons at home.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the proposed removal of transport services for oncology and dialysis patients by the Health Service Executive's western area, effective from 1 July 2011, and the need for the Minister for Health to provide assurance to the 600 patients in Mayo, Galway and Roscommon that they will be looked after and will continue to have access to the treatment they require after that date.

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