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 McHugh — to discuss broadband for Tuam, County Galway; (2) Deputy Gay Mitchell — the reason for differing interpretation of the regulations on retirement age by FÁS; (3) Deputy Broughan — the urgent need for the Minister to ensure that the site and campus of the historic Greendale community school, Kilbarrack, Dublin 5, retains its critical educational and community role for local residents; (4) Deputy Costello — the need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to state what measures have been taken to determine the circumstances of the disappearance of an Irish citizen (details supplied); (5) Deputy Neville — the small-scale permanent accommodation grant for Athea national school; (6) Deputy Kehoe — to call on the Minister for Health and Children to urgently review the case (details supplied) with a view to providing occupational therapy services for this child. Having contacted the senior occupational therapist in the Enniscorthy district, the child's mother was informed that the 2003-04 list is currently being worked on and that there was a lengthy waiting period to access the service; (7) Deputy Crawford — to ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food that clear direction be given to farmers and their legal advisers on what is required of them when farms are being transferred, especially within family structures, so that payments such as single payments are automatically transferred and not held up because of lack of clarity and proper forms being filled; will she advise the legal system accordingly and will she make a statement on the matter; (8) Deputy Harkin — to discuss the provision of a new community school in Ballinamore, County Leitrim, and the serious need for a new school in Dromore West, County Sligo; (9) Deputy Durkan — the decision by the Minister to cease invalidity pension for a person (details supplied); (10) Deputy Catherine Murphy — the need for facilities at and leading to train stations to be dramatically improved; (11) Deputy Fiona O'Malley — to discuss the recently published Stern report on climate change and the implications for Irish energy policy; and (12) Deputy Cowley — to ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if he will agree that the Government needs to explore a five-year step-aside option for drift net fishermen, considering the severe implications of a total ban on rural communities, if he will agree that this is a logical option for those who have been drift netting for generations, and recovery of stocks after five years, if he has considered any other options besides a total ban and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The matters raised by Deputies Fiona O'Malley, Gay Mitchell, Durkan and Catherine Murphy have been selected for discussion.
