I have received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs to outline the reason for the delay in ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and the timeframe for delivery of same.
I have also received notice from Senator Ciaran Cannon of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to give an update on the provision of a new sewage treatment plant and network to serve Kinvara, County Galway.
I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport to clarify the way in which Departments' national lottery moneys are being spent.
I have also received notice from Senator Maria Corrigan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to provide additional funding to replace old equipment at Holy Trinity national school, Leopardstown, Dublin 18.
I have also received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport to request an investigation at international level into recent bribery allegations.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Healy Eames, Cannon and Buttimer as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Corrigan may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Keaveney as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
