I have notice from Senator Shane Ross that, on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Industry and Commerce to block the bid for Irish Distillers.
I also received notice from Senator Philip Hogan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education to retain the school transport service to Tullaroan national school, County Kilkenny, as operated for the school year 1987-88.
I also received notice from Senator Katherine Bulbulia of the following matter:
In view of the several changes in the international patent scene, the need for the Minister for Industry and Commerce to indicate how this will affect the workings of the Patents Office.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Ross, Hogan and Bulbulia as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Ross's motion and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Hogan and Bulbulia may give notice for another day of the matters they wish to raise.
