Seanad Éireann debate -
Wednesday, 20 Jan 1988

Vol. 118 No. 4

Business of Seanad.

I have notice from Senator Joe Doyle that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The urgent need for the Minister for the Environment to make financial assistance available to facilitate the introduction of smoke free zones under the Air Pollution Act in view of the very serious deterioration of air quality in Dublin City.

I also received notice from Senator Nuala Fennell of the following matter:

In view of the serious lack of cancer screening facility for Irish women as compared to women in other EC countries, the need for the Minister for Health to indicate a countrywide cancer screening programme which would be consistent with his commitment to preventive medical care.

I also received notice from Senator Seán Haughey of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment to use his powers under section 22 (3) of the 1963 Planning Act to rezone the site at Red Rock, Sutton, County Dublin, from Type A (Residential) to Type F (Amenity) in the Dublin County Development Plan, in view of the decision of An Bord Pleanála of 5 January 1988 in this regard.

I also received notice from Senator Patrick Kennedy of the following matter:

The closure of Barrington's Hospital, Limerick.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Doyle, Kennedy, Fennell and Haughey as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Doyle's motion and it will be taken from 8 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. or earlier if the business ordered is concluded. Senators Kennedy, Fennell and Haughey may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
