I wish to advise the House that eight Deputies have submitted matters under Standing Order 21: (1) Deputy Joe Costello — the ongoing operation of the Private Security Authority and the review of its licensing procedures; (2) Deputy Thomas P. Broughan — the urgent need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to fully report to Dáil Éireann on the sale of landing gear and APU assets at the SR Technics operation in Dublin Airport, given the fast approaching company deadlines for receipt of bids for the base maintenance, line maintenance and garage operations at SR Technics; if the Tánaiste will also outline to the Dail what actions she, the Taoiseach and IDA Ireland are taking to facilitate the remaining expressions of interest in the SR Technics facility and to maintain the 1,200 critical jobs and the centre of aviation engineering and maintenance excellence at Dublin Airport; and if she will make a statement on the matter; (3) Deputy Chris Andrews — the concerns raised recently about the removal of certain facilities (details provided) in the Ringsend area, which affects elderly people in the area and their ability to collect social welfare payments; to ask the Minister if anything can be done to reverse this; (4) Deputy Bernard J. Durkan — the awarding of a higher education grant to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; (5) Deputy Dinny McGinley — the loss of jobs at James Likely Limited, Ballyshannon, County Donegal. (6) Deputy Billy Timmins — the denial of a place on a school bus in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; (7) Deputy James Reilly — to ask the Minister to outline what steps she has taken to protect the jobs of 1,100 people at SR Technics following the announcement of the company today; (8) Deputy Alan Shatter — that the Minister of State with responsibility for children takes the appropriate action to ensure that the circumstances of children reported to be at risk are properly investigated and publishes the survey of social work and family support finalised last month and conducted by the HSE, some of the contents of which are contained in The Irish Times today and the report on which has to date been suppressed; and that he also requires the HSE to publish their Review of Adequacy of Child and Family Services for the years 2007 and 2008.

The matters raised by Deputies McGinley, Costello, Durkan and Timmins have been selected for discussion.
