I have notice from Senator David Norris that on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today he proposes to raise the following matter:
The attendance of Irish diplomats at the official reception for President Waldheim of Austria on 25 June 1987 in the Vatican.
I also received notice from Senator Jack Daly of the following matter:
The need for the Government to reverse their decision to abolish Bord Scannán na hÉireann (Irish Film Board) in the interests of the Irish film industry.
I also received notice from Senator Paul Bradford of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education to indicate when it is proposed to start a building programme at Rahan national school, Mallow, County Cork, as a serious accommodation problem will exist there in September 1987 as some of the present accommodation is extremely unsatisfactory.
I also received notice from Senator Mick Lanigan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to use his considerable influence to ensure that the United Nations renew the UNIFIL mandate in Lebanon which expires on 19 July.
I also received notice from Senator Brian O'Shea of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to expand the recent decentralisation programme to include other areas than those designated in order to redress regional imbalances.
I regard all matters as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment of the House. I have selected Senator Norris's motion and it will be taken at the conclusion of business this afternoon. Senators Daly, Bradford, Lanigan and O'Shea may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
