I have notice from An Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Charlie McDonald, that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Labour to review the narrow interpretation of Statutory Instrument No. 311 of 1979 concerning dangerous substances given by some local authorities which is forcing the majority of family petroleum retailers out of business by virtue of their inability to meet the strict new requirements for retailers licences.
I also received notice from Senator Denis Cregan of the following matter:
The progress made to date on the bringing into operation of the Cork free port since this matter was raised on 25 May 1988.
I also received notice from Senator Donie Cassidy of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment to sanction the sewerage treatment works as a matter of urgency due to the pollution dangers to Lough Dereveragh.
I regard the matter raised by Senators McDonald, Cregan and Cassidy as suitable for discussion on an Adjournment debate. I have selected Senator McDonald's matter and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Cregan and Cassidy may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
