I have notice from Senator Neville that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice to ensure that all the necessary preparations are put in order to prepare for the policing implications of open borders post 1992, and if he will make a statement on this matter.
I also received notice from Senator Doyle of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to outline immediately the future employment prospects for all our customs officers in the light of the free trade position in the EC from 1 January 1993 and in regard to his recent announcement concerning the introduction of automatic entry processing and direct trades input on 1 January 1993.
I also received notice from Senator Upton of the following matter:
The discontinuation of grants for smokeless heating conversions by virtue of the Government's refusal to make any further special control area orders with particular reference to the Crumlin, Drimnagh and Bluebell areas of Dublin.
I also received notice from Senator Costello of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment to increase funding to enable Dublin Corporation to continue their programme of upgrading their housing stock.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Neville, Doyle, Upton and Costello as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Neville's matter and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Doyle, Upton and Costello may give notice another day of the matters they wish to raise.
