I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 21 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Creed — the urgent need for Údaras na Gaeltacht to secure a new industry for the vacant factory space in Ballingeary, County Cork; (2) Deputy McGennis — the up-to-date position regarding the provision of independent counsel to represent rape victims at criminal trials, the legislative or other changes necessary to implement this measure and the probable time scale; (3) Deputy Ring — the plans, if any, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has to regulate or prevent public demonstrations on the main streets in Dublin and whether a section of Phoenix Park could be used instead; (4) Deputy Gormley — the need to improve standards of air quality in the light of the admission by the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment and Local Government that Ireland will have difficulty meeting such standards because of increasing traffic levels; (5) Deputy Gilmore — the agreement announced by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste on 8 March which led to the suspension of industrial action by Ryanair workers, especially in the light of the decision by Ryanair to terminate the employment of three baggage handlers, and the need for ministerial intervention to ensure that the agreement is honoured by company management; (6) Deputy Upton — the unacceptable delays in the construction of a physical education hall for a school in Dublin 6W (details supplied); (7) Deputy Michael Kitt — the provision of "step down" accommodation at the Bon Secours Hospital, Tuam, County Galway.
The matters raised by Deputies Gilmore, Michael Kitt, Creed and Upton have been selected for discussion.
