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 need for the Minister for Social Welfare to resolve the anomaly whereby a visually handicapped student (name supplied) in receipt of a blind pension has had that pension reduced substantially as a result of the success in obtaining a higher education grant, thereby effectively preventing him from completing his education.
I also received notice from Senator Joe O'Toole of the following matter:
The need to establish a pilot scheme for Teilifís na Gaeltachta because £0.5 million has been set aside from the national lottery by the Government since November last for this scheme.
I also received notice from Senator John A. Murphy of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to clarify the Government's attitude to the Mawhinney proposals on integrated education in Northern Ireland.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Norris, O'Toole and Murphy as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Norris's motion and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators O'Toole and Murphy may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
