I have notice from Senator Brendan Ryan that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:—
The widescale practice of requiring members of the travelling community to "sign on" at labour exchanges for social assistance at a fixed time.
I also received notice from Senator Jim Higgins of the following matter:—
The need for the Minister for Health to indicate his intentions in relation to the opening and staffing of the Aras Attracta Mentally Handicapped Unit at Swinford, Co. Mayo.
I have also received notice from Senator Rory Kiely of the following matter:—
The delay by the Minister for Agriculture in implementing the Control of Bulls for Breeding Act, 1985, which was passed in July of last year.
I also received notice from Senator Michael D. Higgins of the following matter:—
The undue delay by the Department of Education in acceding to the request of the Sligo School Project who are seeking to establish a multi-denominational school in Sligo.
I also received notice from Senator Jack Fitzsimons of the following matter:—
The need for the Minister for Education to have the proposed extension to Longwood Vocational School, County Meath, completed as a matter of extreme urgency.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Brendan Ryan, Jim Higgins, Kiely, Michael D. Higgins and Fitzsimons as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment.
I have selected Senator Brendan Ryan's matter for today's Adjournment and it will be taken at the conclusion of business.
Senators Jim Higgins, Kiely, Michael D. Higgins and Fitzsimons may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
