I have notice from Senator Philip Hogan that, on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education to examine the serious consequences her proposed change in the pupil teacher ratio will have on the pupils and staff of Tullow Community School, County Carlow.
I also received notice from Senator Paschal Mooney of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to seek an explanation from the British authorities of an incident at Leeds-Bradford Airport when a leading Irish cultural representative (name supplied) was forced to enter his name in English on a landing card and the implications of this incident for other Irish citizens using British provincial airports and seaports.
I also received notice from Senator Katharine Bulbulia of the following matter:
The rapidly deteriorating ophthalmic services in the South Eastern Health Board.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Hogan, Mooney and Bulbulia as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Hogan's motion and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Mooney and Bulbulia may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
