Vol. 725 No. 3

Adjournment Debate Matters

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 James Bannon — the need for the Minister to recognise the valuable work of Longford-Westmeath family resource centres through essential funding for 2011; (2) Deputy Joe Costello — the need for a permanent school building for Gaelscoil Bharra, Dublin 7; (3) Deputy Ruairí Quinn — the need to approve an application for a home tuition grant; (4) Deputy Ciarán Lynch — to ask the Minister for Health and Children when the amount of Health Service Executive funding for homeless services around the country will be confirmed, and when it will be communicated to the voluntary organisations providing those services; (5) Deputies Phil Hogan and Joanna Tuffy — the need to review expenditure cuts for the National Heritage Council; (6) Deputy Timmy Dooley — the need for a new building for a school in Tulla, County Clare; (7) Deputy Bernard J. Durkan — the precarious position of a person in County Kildare, mother of a young baby, who has been refused social welfare payments on HRC and other grounds and is in a very vulnerable position as a result, is deemed by voluntary organisations such as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul as being so given that she has been refused a payment while on appeal, that her appeal could take another six months, if the Minister will therefore intervene with a view to ensuring immediate payment is made in order to provide for her well-being and that of her child and if the Minister will make a statement on the matter; (8) Deputy Thomas P. Broughan — the urgent need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to address the growing housing waiting lists on Dublin's north side and particularly in the Dublin City Council administrative area and the necessity for the Minister and Dublin City Council manager to proactively house individuals and families who have spent many years on the housing and homeless lists; and if he will make a statement on the matter; and (9) Deputy Jimmy Deenihan — the delay in sending a technical team to advance the building of a new school at Dromclough, Listowel, County Kerry, which was approved in 2002.

The matters raised by Deputies Joe Costello, Ruairí Quinn, Timmy Dooley, Phil Hogan and Joanna Tuffy have been selected for discussion and will be taken now.
