I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given to me under Standing Order 20 (3) (a) and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy G. O'Sullivan — the escalation, in recent months, of attacks on the elderly who are living alone; (2) Deputy D. Ahern — the measures the relevant State agencies can take in order to alleviate potential job losses in the customs clearance section with the abolition of tax frontiers on 1 January 1993; (3) Deputy G. Reynolds — if the Minister for Finance will rescind his decision where public house proprietors are requested to have their taxes up to date before their licences are renewed; (4) Deputy M. Ferris — the implications for the Common Agricultural Policy reform in the light of the breakdown of the GATT talks; (5) Deputy Cotter — the need to pay adequate compensation to Customs clearance agents who are being forced out of business by the completion of the Single Market; (6) Deputy Deenihan — the action, if any, that will be taken in relation to the leakage of hydrochloric acid at a company (details supplied) in Listowel, County Kerry, and whether the Minister for the Environment considers the existing plant to be adequate; (7) Deputy Rabbitte — whether the Minister for Health has made a recommendation to the Government concerning the construction of the regional hospital at Tallaght, and whether the Government has agreed to make the necessary provision in the Estimates; (8) Deputy Enright — the problems in the District Court over the absence of district justices; (9) Deputy T. Ahearn — the closure of the integrated pre-school in Clonmel, which is run by the local branch of the Mentally Handicapped Association, due to lack of sufficient funding by the Department of Health; (10) Deputy Fennell — whether the Minister for Justice will take emergency action on the lack of legal aid in the Dublin area; (11) Deputy Garland — the continuing refusal by the Minister for Finance to publish the report by Price Waterhouse on the future of the Office of Public Works; and (12) Deputy Tomás Mac Giolla — the liquidation of Don Bluth Entertainment Limited and the resulting loss of employment.

I have selected for discussion the matters raised by Deputies Mac Giolla, O'Sullivan and Enright.
