Vol. 744 No. 3

Topical Issue Matters

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 27A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív — the need to address issues regarding home insurance following the floods of November 2009; (2) Deputy Brendan Griffin — the need for a new school building at Milltown Presentation secondary school, County Kerry; (3) Deputy Shane Ross — the proposed closure of the motor tax office in Nutgrove shopping centre, Dublin; (4) Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin — the initiation of legislation dealing with a proposed levy on online gaming in the context of sports funding; (5) Deputy Thomas P. Broughan — the need to maintain funding for St. Michael's House, Ballymun Road, Dublin 9 under the 2012 budget; (6) Deputy Olivia Mitchell — the need for consistency and clarity in all regions on the eligibility criteria for JobBridge; (7) Deputy Peadar Tóibín — the need to solve the overcrowding in hospitals in the north east, in particular at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth; (8) Deputy Billy Kelleher — the plans to bring University Hospital Galway, the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick, or any other regional hospitals under the control of private sector consultancy management; (9) Deputy Mick Wallace — the need to suspend mortgage repayments for home owners in the Priory Hall complex, Dublin; and (10) Deputy Dessie Ellis — bus services in Dublin, in particular in the areas of Ballymun and Finglas.

The matters raised by Deputies Éamon Ó Cuív, Mick Wallace, Brendan Griffin and Thomas P. Broughan have been selected for discussion.

I wish to raise an issue.

No, we have moved on to the Topical Issue debate.

The Deputy cannot have a point of order. I call Deputy Ó Cuív, who has four minutes.

I think the Leas-Cheann Comhairle can take a point of order.

I cannot take it at this stage because we have moved onto the Topical Issue debate.

It is a topical issue and I want to correct the record of this House.

No, we are on to this issue. The Deputy may have another opportunity but this specifically pertains to the issue of home insurance raised by Deputy Ó Cuív.
