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) Deputies Fergus O'Dowd, Seamus Kirk, Seán Conlan and Brendan Smith - toxins being dumped into the rivers and lakes of the north east; (2) Deputy Catherine Murphy - the need for a review of school enrolment options in the north Kildare area; (3) Deputy Terence Flanagan - the need for a fresh inquiry into the Stardust fire; (4) Deputy Denis Naughten - the need to direct Irish Water to purchase a number of mobile water treatment plants; (5) Deputy Seán Kyne - the need to provide a permanent extension at Scoil Mhuire, Moycullen; (6) Deputy Eamonn Maloney - housing and the need for democratic control as the Governor of the Central Bank appears to be insisting on the 20% deposit as a requirement for mortgage applicants, which will marginalise many aspiring house purchasers who do not have the 20% and will put increased pressure on the need for rental accommodation and social housing - the role of the Governor should be an advisory role with the Dáil setting the standards; (7) Deputy Brendan Griffin - the need to fast-track the availability of high-speed broadband nationwide; (8) Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy - the delay in decision making around energy generation; (9) Deputy Billy Timmins - the implications following the recent Supreme Court judgment with respect to the Mahon-Flood Tribunal; (10) Deputy Brian Stanley - the need to support autism services in county Laois; (11) Deputy Michael McGrath - the loss of routes and reduction of services at Cork Airport; (12) Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan - the position regarding the social inclusion and community activation programme; (13) Deputy Michael McCarthy - the position regarding the Bandon flood relief scheme; (14) Deputy Jack Wall - the guidelines of the primary medical certificate regulations; (15) Deputy Thomas P.
